I want to give up. I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis of the spine. I’m so tired of this pain. I’m 38 and had this since 34. Exercise/walking/ being active makes it so much worse. I don’t know what stage I’m in but I can’t do anything without being in a lot of pain.
Stay strong have faith in God he is the ultimate Doctor
I’m about done with fighting this pain 24/7.
We can’t give up.
I wish there was a support group for this disease
How to be active if any activity causes pain?
Who can afford the needed treatment ? I can’t..
Thank you
It life-saving advice
Please remove the noise very interfering and it sounds like important information. I’d like to learn.
This is absolute torture beyond anything imaginable, especially when you suffer from it from the thoracic to the lumbar, into the sacroiliac joints. If I wasn't on vicodin, gabapentin, morphine and Tylenol rapid release 4 times a day, the pain would be uncontrollable and constant, too much to bear living and has you wishing you were dead because you come to believe you are better off dead rather than suffer like that. If it wasn't for the painkillers, I wouldn't be living. Still, in a very real sense, it's a living death since my activities are severely limited.
The doctor is right here when he said you have this pain for life once you have it. When I wake up, the pain is at it's worse because the more I rest in bed, though I need the rest and I always sleep with a heating pad for my back, still when I awaken, the pain hits me through the roof because my body has been dormant while sleeping. I wake up like a corpse with rigor mortis in my back and associated pain in my limbs and joints throughout my body.
Me too, my epidurals and ablations have not worked and unfortunately cannot take meds orally , they kill my stomach and bring on my IBS. You keep hopping for something else , if you have the money.Mornings are the worst.
I feel your pain,🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
Thanks, but no need for the annoying sound in the background
Would a daily tablet of glucosamine help?
My mom just got diagnosed… stage 4. Trying to learn as much as I can
Stage 4 what
I was just told I have this I’m only 39 😫 physical therapy helps me I’m still trying to figure out what causes my episodes of pain because I can go without pain even years then I would do something like a stretch like yoga or I was trying one day some weight training and I start hurting so bad !
i had this at 39 too in neck and back - 2 mva's and typing since 19... I'm 48 now and have pain daily
Yes that is true mind over matter 😶 working out is the remedy
Use beef gelatin on empty stomach for a month. It helped someone

I am 46 I have severe arthritis in my upper back. When inflammation is at its worse, it causes slow breathing. I was injured in the job in Alabama, I have two bulging discs. And a calapsed disc also. No Insurance will help me due to the severity of my injury. Can anyone help me before I end up in a wheel chair. Or should I just give up and wait for the inevitable to happen
