Does Anyone Know Where To Go & How To Manage Housing Assistance & Utilities Assistance While Working On Disability When You Have No One?
I used to think my roommate (ex-husband) was my only real friend & help. I see now that is not even so. We have been thru a lot together as husband & wife, & friends. I even supported him financially after we split up while he applied for disability & fought for 9 years w/ attorneys & lost. I worked 2 full-time jobs while we were still together. Paid what bills he could not when I was living with my ex boyfriend. Now the tables are turned & he has the business I once did. Not willing to put the… read more

Hi all, I had laminectomy for spinal stenosis as I couldn't walk due to numbness & weakness in my back, legs & feet.

Why Are Drugs Mostly Always The Answer?
I have lower back pain for years. Now I have Sciatica along with everything else. I have gone to Neurologists, Ortho guys, my Primary, a Chiro and a few others, and mostly the only thing offered to me is Drugs. I can have "anything I want" from Asprin to Percoset. I dont want any of it. I want to find a treatment or cure that I can actually live with. PT doesnt work for me bevause it only brings on more pain. I'm 71, I'd like to enjoy the years I have left.
Yes Yvonnelewis. Does tiger balm help your joints.thanks Lorraine xx 😃
Is There Any Treatment Besides Surgery To Correct A Reverse Lordosis In The Cervical Spine?
After 3 cervical spine surgeries, I now suffer from stenosis in the cord,and constant pain. I get shots to release the knots, but they return and crimp the bones. The pain is only part, my arms and legs are losing sensation, or spasm wildly to the point of cramping .

Hello Dear Fellow Members
Just checking with you all. I have had headaches since November of 2022. Now they're slight but still annoying cause it's chronic. I have a bad disc in my neck back. For about 30 years. My neck was in excruciating pain. I had to use my hand to lift my neck. I was doing tasks of stocking shelves in a store and I feel that started the severe pain. Plus I have fibromyalgia for 30 years. And alot of big stress in my life. I went to hospitals and my own doctor. Says it's from tension n fibro and the… read more
Have you tried different pillows or mattress on your bed....they can make a hell of a difference to your neck/spine position in bed. Definitely worth a try.

Medication And Memory
Has anyone noticed a coalition vis a vie memory and meds. My memory has been getting progressively worse monthly. I AM 52 so it may just be I'm getting old but I was sharp as a knife when I was younger. Could the meds mess with memory
