Does your pain and limitations because of your pain ever make you feel just useless? I guess I did not fully explain what the doctor told me because I was so upset with mom. My back is inoperable for some reason my pelvic area has fused itself and the cartlidge is superficial. If I had not had 7 tummy surgeries they could go in the front and do it.
