I feel for them. I really do. I just couldn't imagine never being able to just be alone. Not even for just one single second. Everyone needs time alone sometimes.
True, but in some ways it's not as bad for them because they've never known that feeling, so maybe they don't know why people would particularly want it. Like if I asked you if you ever want to spend time away from your legs. I know it's not the same because it's another person but just saying they might never think about that at all.
I would absolutely love a synthetic spine. I'm 36 and my back is just miserable.
It would be one thing if it consistently got relief from something, but it's a constant shell game. Will heat help today? Will ibuprofen work this afternoon? Is PT going to help this time or make me feel terrible?
It's just a terrible process to go through and makes me want to go around telling everyone to sit up straight, stand more and do core exercises.
I'm in a similar situation. I've tried various injections and procedures....Thus far, the only thing that has helped is a combination of Meloxicam 2x per day(with tylenol) and Duloxetine 1x per day. Be aware that the Duloxetine is actually an antidepressant and just "happens to help with arthritis", so you may experience other side effects. I deal with some mild sexual dysfunction, but....it actually kind of made my sex life better anyway....So....maybe talk with your doctor?
I currently take Effexor and Lyrica. At least it has helped with those really sharp, take-your-breath-away shooting pains that you get when you sit or stand the wrong way.
