Hardening across lower back causing severe pain in walking

Being a 'kid' of many, many decades ... one who still writes with
pen to paper and puts letters in the mailbox, I'm saddened to
be faced with my chronic pain.

Some/most days are filled with so much pain. Getting up in the
morning, and thanking God for this beautiful new day ...make
this a happy, positive way to start the day. I do my chores as
best I can. Then, after a few steps, I'm 'angry' why my legs didn't
hear my plea or 'get my letter'.

I have asthma and ... that's a story for another time.
I have since been put on QVAR for the asthma. Could it be
that after a few weeks of doing Qvar ... this is affecting my
painful walking and severe back pain? Yes. The doctor knows
and advises me to lessen 'puffs'. The only ones who really know
about this pain (other than devoted children who should get a
medal for listening) is the one wearing those shoes.

I hope no one ever feels this pain or any chronic pains. If someone
has this 'happiness', please tell me. At this time, 'feh' to pills and
injections. Is it part of growing "younger"? Arthritis is arthritis
and unless the fountain of youth is finally found ... we have to
'hang in'. There's lots of 'us kids' on the tree. Let's all try to keep on ... keeping on. Good Luck to all.
