Welcome back, Deb! I know how hard it is to try to put the pain in the back of your mind, but unfortunately, like you mentioned, it seems our backs do run our lives most of the time. We just have to get used to living our lives in a different way so that we can get the most out of it.
I'm doing okay ,i've been posting, but lately i've not seen too many to answer that I have much knowledge or experience in. And sometimes, I just can't think of the right things to say. I guess since i've been taking lyrica and soma for several weeks now, it seems to be helping somewhat. Last week I went to a former co-worker's for lunch, so did not take my meds (as they make me loopy & I had to drive). Well, then I knew, at least, the Soma was doing something for my cramps & spasms b/c while not on it, they attacked with a vengeance. I still get them anyway, but not as viciously. But nothing is really helping my hip/pelvic girdle pain while walking. And the Soma does not help the cramp-like pains in my rear & thigh backs that I get when walking. Other than that, I am just waiting for the end of April when I start training thru Voc. Rehab.
