I've had to truncate my exercising- my walk from the parking lot to workwas built in exercise, I halved it by moving lots- and my hands have gotten so bad I can't massage my legs any longer.

So I understand the helplessness. I really do. Are there other pain management options near you, facility wise? Perhaps you need next level medication. If your past physician was unwilling you may need to find one who is. It sounds as if you have done a lot to try and mitigate thibgs already.

My best to you,

Jon
