Many Drs. are trying to treat the cause. It seems like it's the spinal stenosis. It's frustrating to be in so much pain. I was up at 5 a.m. Stood up a lot of the day and felt better but lying down now is awful.

But a group might help you socialize more or get out etc.

My T doesn't think my reaction is unusual. She just wants me to feel better.

Does swimming help alleviate any pain? I know that some gyms offer over 50 group swims.

Swimming was okay but I probably should go more. I burned my arm on my stove so waiting for it to heal first.
Thanks, growly.
