Saw my GP this morning.He says I have arthritis in my lower spine.OUCH


Feels like something is sqishing my vertabre.Dr B. says to try Aleve.


The pinch nerve affect I've been having in my neck is gone.Wore a neck brace for three days.


Isnt it amasing how you can go for days an days in pain.Go to bed,wake in the morning to NO pain  or those shocks.Woke up Sunday an my neck was fine.Body heal it's self.Dont I wish.


I lost lbs some how.Went from 114 to 102.I dont like this.

Hi Doreen


Arthritis anywhere in the body is not fun that is for sure. I am glad you pain in the neck seems to be gone though. Hope the Alieve will help you to feel better.


That is a lot of weight to loose in such a short time. I was wondering if you were eating much while you were not doing well with your neck.


Hugs

Glad to hear your neck is feeling better. GP just added RA and fibro to my list. Thinking about telling him..Hey, I don't even want to know any more.LOL


Hope the Alieve helps Doreen.

I have many joints with osteoarthritis. I can't imagine having it in my spine. Ouch, indeed! Yes, keeping moving is key, along with the anti-inflammatory. I hope it feels better soon.
