Getting old isn't for sissies I have been told. Apparently I getting old since I hit 60 last June.
Here I am without insurance and the doctors think I am their piggy bank. The current doctor wants tests to be done but his office refused to tell me how they are going to cost me so the tests are not going get done for a while.
Spinal problems are not fun at all. Most of mine have been in lumbar region. Can step just right at times and feel someone just stab me in the area and causes massive hip pain. Getting better though as after 5 years they finally found that it was just a dislocated vertebra or truth to be known I found it. I was having lots pain one week and was laying in the floor for some relief when I went to get up on all fours it popped. At that moment I thought I broke something as hurt so bad but within 15 minutes all the pain was gone. I still having problems in that area but it is no where near what it was.
I had customers to make fun me for using a 2 ton engine crane to remove, repair, and reinstall small engines but once I explain why then they understand. They didn't do it in front me but I have overheard them at the supermarket. It why I can be found sitting on a little 6-10 inch stool at times as I just can't stay bent over very long at all. Yet somehow I manage to get the work done.
Hope you get better soon as chronic pain can make you very ill person mentally as it does wear on you. Personally I have been there.
