I'd be in pretty good shape if I could just find a fix for my back issue. I'm not able to stand up much more than 5-10 minutes before I get terrible pain. I suppose something is compressing. Because I have metal hips no one is sure whether the pain is actually from a hip that is needing replaced again. I have an appointment (6 weeks away) with my pain management doc. Meanwhile I'm seeing a chiropractor (sometimes I feel better, sometimes worse).
I hate that I can't do much since most things requires standing. If I go grocery shopping, by the time I get to the back of the store I have to head to the front again for a seat. Thrift store shopping usually finds me lounging in the furniture section. No need to plan a vacation unless it's to a library :(
I've been recommended to go see a neurologist since the guy who did both my hip surgeries works ER trauma at a hospital now. I'm going to call him anyway; maybe he'll help out a former patient.
This is so frustrating. I got the whole summer ahead of me and I'm planted in a chair more times than not. Please pray that someone will be able to figure this out!
