Struggling with Chronic Pain and Lack of Motivation

I used to go to physical therapy and I would get traction for my back and massage for my neck. It worked but I haven't gone back in a while.

I was told by y my surgeon that if i get surgery on my neck that he would fuse c3 thru c7 and I have need fusion surgery on my lumbar l5-s1 is bone on bone and my thoracic spine is bad also but I am too scared. My thumb is probably going to be my first and my hip is also causing woes. Sooooo, just venting.🤗

🙏😥❤️I feel for you and know that it is a day by day struggle to be positive.

I just don't know how I keep going. I have no life but severe pain for the last 8 years and it just keeps getting worse.

Thanks everyone I have had 2 fusion surgery in my neck and 4 cervical decompression laminoplasty and it's caused severe weakness in my arms and legs Difficulty walking Loss of balance and loss of bowel and bladder control and I have had fusion surgery in L4-L5 and now I have to have fusion in L2-L3 and in L5-S1

yes, that comes with the neck issues. It stinks. I used to have one of those inflatable neck stretchers...it helped for a while but got old. I hate things around my neck tho so I can't use it very long
