My son has degenerating disc disease and is having hip problems at this time. I am praying that this skips generations. I worry about my grandchildren. Stairs are difficult for me, as well. My treadmill is downstairs. After walking, I can barely make it up. I am trying my best to manage my atrophy. Time will tell. I am wondering if I should start SS disability now or after therapy. I truly want to return to work. I am not ready to retire. This does not sound promising
