I know how frustrating and debilitating chronic pain can be. I have spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. Mornings are the absolute worst as I am very stiff and with a lot of pain when I first get up. I get my coffee made, gulp a couple of aspirin or ibuprofen, and usually feel better within 30-45 minutes.

It's been difficult for me to accept my health issues as I used to work a lot of manual labor jobs that were very physical.

After creating even more problems by working those kinds of jobs after I was diagnosed, I finally accepted it.

I'm glad you posted! :ghug
