I Am Wondering If Anyone Else Out There Has An Issue With Pain From Scoliosis And Arthritis In The Back?,

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Delray Beach, FL

I have a lot of pain in my back with scoliosis and arthritis, I also have osteopenia. I am told there is not much to do for me other than pain medication which are not really helping me much at all. I just completed several weeks of physical therapy and they ve given me several exercises to continue with at home and I am not sure how all of this is going to help. I am just very frustrated and not knowing what to do from here.

Any answers someone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Have any of you tried a pressure relief memory foam mattress topper? It makes a huge difference for me. Temperpedic has one, the sale of 40% off ends tomorrow and has a warranty of 10 years. I know it's hard financially if you are like me and live on disability.
