For years I was told my pain was fibromyalgia but after having Covid the pain in my body hit hard and a year after Covid I could not turn my head to check traffic. Made an appointment with a neurosurgeon had X-ray on my spine and was diagnosed with DISH. I never stopped working in the garden, walked two miles five days a week, did very heavy lifting. Painted and wall papered my home was always active while I believed it was fibromyalgia. Now it’s a new disease and is coming on fast. Not sure if Covid had anything to do with it but my pain has been bad since Covid. I still work in the garden but no longer plant huge bushes because of pain. I do believe heavy work for years took its toll on my body.
