You sound like a very caring and good hubby!!!

I hope your wife finds an end to her pain.

In my husband's case (and I consider him lucky) he has been told to exercise, he DOES IT!! and it helps.

But, he does not have an back pain. Never did. We just thought his neuropathy came from his back. About 6 doctors have now told us that IT'S NOT HIS BACK!!" I guess we have to listen to them, right??

People with back pain, well, how on earth can they exercise?? It must be excrutiating!!!!! I remember, years ago, when I had sciatica attacks.

If someone had told me to exercise, I think I would have EXERCISED them on their heads. My goodness, I couldn't even get out of bed and when I did get out of bed (just to go to the bathroom), I felt like my body weighed 2000 lbs. It was that hard to walk. But I went to a doctor and was told to do certain EXERCISES. Bend this way, bend that way. I thought she was nuts, but as I began to get better, I did the exercises.

I never stopped. And even though I have scoliosis, I still do the exercises. Maybe I'll stop when I'm 100. Who knows??


So now he's undergoing IVIG and we'll see where that leads us.

Take care and hopefully your wife will get some peace.
Hope it all works out.
Keep us informed okay?
