Woman, you just wrote what I think about and live through everyday. I have had 2 knee replacements, 3 spinal fusion surgeries with 5 vertabra that are screwed together for life with titanium hardware. All of which, make me light up like a Christmas tree at the airport! It all sucks! I don't even know who this person is that I call myself anymore. I hear you when you say others live with things like this everyday...but me? Really? The college athlete? The triathlete? I am having a very, very difficult time accepting my physical limitations.
I am glad for you and others who have worked through these issues and are seemingly accepting reality. I hope to see you on the other side and learn to accept my new life.
My dad has had great success with spinal epidurals for back issues. I hope it helps! I'm still getting relief from the chiropractor..don't know how long that will last.

I know you've had a rough go of it. I hope, too, that you find relief and acceptance.

Day two, and it seems to be working! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I hear you. Good luck with the procedure.
Thank you! It went smoothly, and all seems to be well so far!
