I have severe pain standing or walking. I am unable to lie on my back either. This is due to spine stenosis and spondylosis. Currently I am on bone treatment. If my bone improves, surgeon is going to perform a series of spine operations. No dates have been set.

Perhaps you can look for a pain rehab center or program closer to you. My large provider network in Minnesota has such a program, and so does my daughter's. It is not quite the same as Mayo, but is multi-focal as well, offering a number of services.

I sorry to hear this. All the CGRPs made me 10X worse, like my head was exploding with hot liquid lava. Doctor didn't believe me at first because "no one else had that symptom". Sending you a heartfelt hug. It took nearly 2 months for my symptoms to go away. Hope this passes soon, Mikayla, you deserve better. 🤗 Lin

Why SHOULD you be sorry for being hard on them? Any doctor that takes 6 weeks to see a stroke patient should be chastised big time! So sorry to hear this. Where is their conscience in treating patients w such disregard?! Sending you a hug. Don't feel guilty about being w your daughter. She's come out of this a better, more empathetic person. It's ok. 🤗. Lin

Hi. I'm Jill, looking for help in deciding if I should go to Mayo Clinic? It would be concerning all of these lumps I have from head to bottom of my feet. They hurt, burn. Electrocute as I believe they are lipomas firing off my nerves!!! Its not worth living if I have to be in such pain everyday...I can't stand it anymore and I get no help or answers around here..

Hi,
I have severe arthritis in my right hand. I have tried many different supplements from off websites with little relief. I've tried cream and icepacks with little relief. Sometimes I wish I could sleep long enough for the pain to be gone when I wake up.

Have you gone to hand surgeon I just had an injection that hand surgeon did which has provided relief for me and I have a brace. Great relief to this point in time, although I know things can change. Also a good physical therapist that practices many modalities. There is a line between doing too much with arthritis and not enough exercise in my experience. I had RTS AND TKR
resulting from old injuries tears and osteoarthritis. Try to see hand orthopedic surgeon Best of luck.
