I Have PBC Since 2000 And All Of My Bones Are Affected Including My Spinal Column With Extreme Pain. I Have To Walk With A Cane At Home
I used to be 5"2" and now am 4"8" due to hunching over because of the pain in my back...I asked my liver doctor for spinal bone replacement and she said I am too old...I am 74 years old
Rosemarie, I am terribly sorry. I know insurance can really limit us. Is there any alternative doctor in the plan? I feel frustrated for you. 74 isn't old and constant pain should be necessary for any age. Is physical therapy an option? I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I've gotten some good results from PT.
Sheila if I "take it any easier" I would never walk again...I live in a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom mobile home and it is small...maybe 20 steps to the bathroom and 15 steps into the kitchen...and after each trip to the bathroom or kitchen I have to sit down at my computer to straighten out my back...I am in pain 24/7 except when sitting down...and I only have Kaiser Permanente so I have to go with what they say they can and CAN NOT DO...
Rosemarie I don't think you to old . Iam 69 just had 3 disks done .. And my friend is 74 and had her back done. You just gotta take it easier then when you was younger. I would ask a orthopedic Dr
.Sending hugs
No it does not Rosemarie. My Dr just took me out of PT. For my disks surgery. I set up to go to pain management. Next month. Sending you hugs and Prayers 🤗💚
PT does NOT fix bones...only replacing the bones will take away the pain!!
How Do You Get Rid Of Pain In Your Bones?
I Have Had PBC For Over 25 Years And No One Has Helped Take Away The Bone Pain!! It Is IN My Back Spinal Column. Cane Inside. Walker Outside
Does Anyone Else Think PBC Affects Your Bones? I Got Osteoporosis Really Bad.
