@guga You certainly have your plate full, don't you? I hope your doctor has considered referring you to a rheumatologist for the arthritis, and I am wondering if physical therapy would help at all? Gentle yoga and stretching seems to help, as well. Good for you for pushing yourself a little bit more each day! Like @mamacita said, keeping a journal of the pain, or making a chart of your symptoms, will be of use to both you and your doctors.

Oh, my, @guga. How did this happen? Bless Your heart. With these findings, there is much to be done.
I am so sorry to hear about this. I have multiple disc issues myself, and spinal stenosis as well. I certainly understamd the pain you are in.
Would the hospital in Rochester be closer to you than the satellite campuses?
I hope that you will consider making an appointment with Mayo Clinic. I know that they can help you.
In the meantime, I'm all ears! Take good care, dear. And rest up. Love and light to you!
