I have Degenerative Disk Disease, 3 Herniated disks...... nerve damage in my upper and lower back that controls my right side..... so walking is pure hell sometimes. I also have a mitral valve prolapse. I had 5 Doctors tell me I'd never work again and would eventually require surgery to even be able to walk...... they wanna do surgery on me now but only give me a 50/50 of it fixing me or putting me in a chair... while I can walk, those odds aren't satisfactory.
BUT I work thru it..... I have an awesome support system here at home and I work to keep my mind off of shit, otherwise I'd be one depressed bitch...... you find what takes your mind away from it and work your way thru it is all you can do. Don't THHINK about it or the severity of it or you will drive yourself mad......
I don't take any pain pills or anything for mine. I just deal with it when it flares up and move thru it....... you can too.... it ain't that bad if you keep your mind somewhere else. ;)
