Welcome and don't even think about a wheel chair future. There is so much info on this forum and at almost 82 I continue to manage a almost 40 yr of sciatic nerve damage from hysterectomy back in my 40's..sitting right now it's burning....

But I have stretches and do them a lot during my "retired" days....

I take ibuprofen/extra strength tylenol 1 each every 6 hrs to keep moving. With food in stomach and looking at taking a new supplement soon for even more stomach protection.

I also deal with neuropathy from hip replacement, which I often call a disaster, but again I'm forever stretching and using a lot of supplements....there is a lot of info on this neuropathy issue in the PN forum here.....

Toprician homepathic lotion is my favorite for pain issues and again I've posed a lot about this wonderful product. Again welcome...and a lot of good info here.
