I am happy to hear that you are walking to ward off your pain and that you have a loyal dog to encourage you to get out of blackberry patches. And I'm happy that you are avoiding alcohol and drinking green tea instead. All very organic and proactive.
While I'm not officially a member of this forum, since I have no idea what my spine's condition is, I have had PA/RA for 50 years, and I understand pain, excruciating, unrelenting pain. I've never consulted a physician about my pain, because I don't like the alternatives they offer. So, I just live with it and work through it. As you are doing. I lift my 6'1", 165 lb son up in his bed and tend to all of his needs, because that's our life. I accept that this is how it is for me, for us, and we move forward to get through each day.
My son is bed bound. His right hip has a rod and 3 pins; his left hip is dust. His legs are windswept, and his torso is deformed. He is in constant pain. Yet, he smiles and greets each day with hope and strength.
I'm telling you this, not for your empathy or sympathy, but to let you know that I do understand.
You wrote: "I have seen some of the cliché stuff" here at BT. I'm curious what you mean by that term. Would you provide some examples of what you've seen here, which you find to be clichés?
I hope that you will continue to follow a natural path toward healing and pain relief. I also hope you carry a cell phone with you when you walk on your farm, just in case you fall into a patch you can't get out of, and your dog doesn't know where to go to get help for you.
Love & Light,
Rose
