"Not too good. I’ve struggled with RA/OA and a bunch of other health problems. For whatever reason, my back (lots of really bad discs) has flared up and I can’t get it calmed down. Saw primary yesterday and got dismissed again, it’s just muscle pain, just use a heating pad. My rheumatoid Dr has me on some meds, but tells me muscle relaxers don’t really work but for a few days. They’ve helped me in the past. Pain Dr says there’s nothing else he can/will help me with. Can’t walk at all, no balance and the pain of getting up or down is unbelievably bad. I’m just feeling pretty hopeless. I get told go buy this or that, topicals, which don’t work for me. Thankfully, I do have a power chair, but still gotta use the bathroom, up and down. I’m sure you all understand. I just get so exhausted trying to get help. It’s just muscle pain???? "
