LOL I've gotten opinions from the heads of several large hospitals, and none want anything to do with me. LOL
I know what you mean about feeling about 20 years older! I even WALK 20 years older. But at least I can still walk -- I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to do that, but at least I'm still doing it.  There is NO WAY I can exercise, as I've tried every kind there is, and it puts me in bed for at least 2 days. Even water therapy puts me in bed -- which is surprising, cause it's supposed to be the best thing for chronic pain.  I've had every kind of therapy there is, plus every single procedure that pain management can do, to no avail. So the only option left for me was medications.
Guess you and I are in the same boat, huh? It sure sucks, doesn't it? But I still have to count my blessings, cause like I said I can still walk. And that's better than a lot of people I've talked to. 
I wish you less pain -- let me know how you're doing, ok? God bless. Hugs, Lee
