To Ham Bine about back pain
Well, mine I know exactly what it is. I have degenerative disk
disease. It’s genetic and I’ve had it since I was about 12. Two of
my disks are pancakes and one is slowly leaking. My L3 is a flat one
and when I get too heavy, it hurts more. It gets inflamed and puts
pressure on nerves that go to my legs causing horendous pain. Most
days it is okay. I have some sort of limp, to what degree depends on
the day. I hardly notice some days until some idiot points it
out. “Gee are you okay? You’re limping” When I get my weight down,
it hurts less and I limp less. I just want to stave off surgery as
long as possible (forever if I can).
Thank you for your help. I wish it were easy in my case. Darn
genetics!
