Catra121 Glad to hear it.
Doesnt it feel good to get out and make yourself enjoy the little things! I am in similar position with pain i have generalized CRPS. It took me a while and a lot of support to realize how important it is to force myself to put myself out there. Its true that we pay for it later but i am getting better at knowing my limits. I for so long missed out on visits and events. I think mentally we need others. I had gotten to the point that i felt i needed a wheelchair(electrical) but my pain Dr says he would write for one but he has found others have given up trying to walk because it is much easier. I took his advice and take my time, even if we have to stop, or stop and sit for a few minutes, then start again. This, along with walking in the heated pool I have noticed i am walking so much better. My doc tells me if you stop using it, youll loose it! I trust him.
I cant understand your neurologist saying no pain Dr. it sounds like thats what you really need right now.
