Wow, what a journey to diagnosis this has been for you! So do they think it will subside?

They do. It just needs some rest.

That's at least good news!

(Reads other comments) Wait, old age will subside?? That's good news! Haha, if only. Thanks for all your posts, David. I don't think I've ever commented before, but I've been following your story for a long time and always find your attitude to be amazing and inspiring. You rock!

my docs know better than to tell me I'm getting old. LOL

I have no smartphone and only use my desktop. I check to the right of my screen every Tuesday to see if your blog comes up. When it doesn't, I worry. I don't know of any other way to follow you, but I am doing my best. (You know what they say about old folks, sigh.) Pain-free? That will be fabulous! Good luck!

I always use my desktop and the blogs that used to be there aren't anymore. I'm lucky if I see one a week now. I will bookmark your page because I love reading your blogs, good news and bad. You have a way of making even bad news sound good and I really like that about you. On the days I'm 'feeling my age', I read what you've written and I realize I am a very lucky woman to have my health. When I don't feel like doing something, it's because I'm more lazy than anything else, read what you've written with everything going on in your life and BAM! I'm off and 'walking' again!

Thank you for your blogs. It keeps this old woman honest!

Glad you finally have a diagnosis, especially one that at this point in time doesn't require surgery. Bonus!! Take care, sounds like you're resting, whether you want to or not, and keep hydrated. Stay strong, I know you've got this. BTW, this getting older stuff sure is not a blast, but it will always beat the alternative.

Yuck, old age....welcome to the club. Glad you know what to do for it. Rest a lot and dream of Tokyo it's right around the corner.

how do I bookmark this? I follow your blog when on my desktop. All the best to you mr! You are such a bright light!

After catching up on your past blogs detailing the events that have led to your current situation and Dr. Lorraine's diagnosis is STRESS!!! The stress living with a wacky landlord...I'm not sure how long you've been dealing with this person, but it is depressing & stressful when your home is no longer your haven.

Best thing you could have done is move away from the psycho. I had a psycho neighbor who I lived beside for 8 years of hell & wish I'd moved way sooner than I did, but loved my place & hoped I could stay & that he would move, but I had to. Anyway, I know the stress that comes with all that & hope the best for your recovery.

take it steady and don't push too hard

Have you looked into taking a magnesium supplement instead of a muscle relaxer? I too suffer with cervical spine issues and pinched nerves. I could not deal with muscle relaxants or some common pain medication prescriptions - they make me loopy. Magnesium, however, has really helped. Different forms of magnesium vary in their effects as a muscle relaxant. I have found magnesium citrate to be very helpful. Like all drugs/supplements you have understand the potential contraindications and side effects as well as possible drug interaction issues, and make an informed decision.

I'm biased of course (I'm a teacher) but do perhaps try the Alexander Technique. Our job is to decompress necks!

I'm so pleased that you finally have an answer. The feeling that you're sick and tired of being sick and tired is something that feels like an eternity. You're positive attitude gives hope to so many and I Think you've reminded all of us about the importance of being our own best advocate and continuing to work toward good health. Continue to get better; we're all cheering for you!

pain is a common problem with many causes, from acute injuries to complications of medical conditions.
It can be also solved by using orthofeet Avery Island – Black shoes which reduces your pains and make you feel more comfortable. That’s why people are mostly orthofeet shoes it is not only providing shoes but also reducing the pain caused in legs to the people.

Hope you become pain free quickly so you can get your mind back. I understand! Keep a goal in sight!

I stand on a 2x2 square of concrete for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week.... my feet hurt so bad I couldn't even rub them. Upon getting out of bed, I would have to grab dressers and hug the walls because it was too painful to stand up and put even minimal pressure on them. I've been through chiropractic care, acupressure, custom orthotics and more gadgets than I care to mention, nothing ever worked. So I admit, I was very skeptical about spending so much money on a pair of shoes, but I finally gave in......and I am so glad that I did!! I've been wearing my Kinetics for 2 months solid and I cannot believe the difference! My feet and legs no longer ache throughout the night, and I can jump out of bed with both feet. I'm even able to exercise again. These shoes are miraculous, to say the least! I loved them so much, I bought a pair of the Orthofeet just for kicking around in. I also got a pair of your flip flops for my vacation in the Keys. Wearing these shoes is like walking on pillows I honestly can't thank you enough. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone that offers from any form of foot pain.....life is too short to not live it to the fullest!

My daughter even ordered a pair for her clinical training for her medical program as she knew she’d be on her feet a lot. They are super comfy and definitely worth every penny that I payed. Love Orthofeet and I recommend them whenever someone mentions having heel pain. Told all my co-workers about them. Simply LOVE them and will defiantly be buying more!
