Im sorry to hear your hurting. But for what its worth, i had kind of the same issues 5 years ago. I had surgery 3 times and just Got worse. I was so stronger out on oxycontin pills i sleept most of the time. And when i woke up i had so much pain i took more pills.

After a while i startet in therapy and Got toma point where i could walk a little. I made myself do a little more every day. And set a goal for every week. After a year i could work on my car again and after 2 years i startet working again a little at a time.

My point is that things can get better If you want them to, and keep fighting it. I refused to let my pain control my life. And even If it hurts i wanted to work on my car, even If just for a little while. Just half an hour is better than nothing.

If you also can get a friend to help you, it would make a World of difference in your mental state. I know i feel a hell of a lot better from just Being in the garage for an hour. And Being positive makes everything a little easier.

Hope you get better soon.

As tough as things are for you at the moment let me assure you that you and your current situations will get better. It will take a while but if you keep your faith and positive attitude everytime something hits you, you will win.

I too lost my Mom in February after many years of taking care of her. I hated that she was so sick and I couldn't do anything to help her. I know now she is without pain and in a much better place.

Blessings,
Jerry H
