Walking, swimming... anything that gets/keeps the blood moving and supplying oxygen to the periphery has got to be beneficial.

Oh, hiya! I've been bouncing around this forum learning what I can.
Uh, yup... been there, tried that. Not meaning to frustrate by that answer.
Actually, when things were STRICTLY ergonomic (the upper body neuropathy) - when I got my car in 2006, for instance, an expensive inflatable seat cushion helped to relieve it until my body adapted to the new car.
But I see where you are coming from, that "bony" pressure. So far I haven't found a solution (tried the donut) to that compression. One of the reasons I'm going to give physical therapy a 2nd try. Like I said, I have a lot more data since the first try a year ago.
I feel excited regarding the suggested supplements in lieu of my "model" - hey, if it won't hurt ya.... yada, yada, yada. I know I may come across as upbeat, but that's just me trying to maintain a sense of humor. This is very tough. A year ago I felt I was in the best health in my life, getting ready to do a 10 K, and now... THIS. Never did do it, and this has really got me down. But like I said... hopeful. I beat one "incurable," I gotta believe I can do it again and trying not to get too depressed!
Say howdy to Will Robinson, Dr. S!
