I don't know how to rate my pain I guess. When I go to the docs and they ask it is so hard. Mine raises for sure with activity but sometimes there is no connection. I will just get a huge flare up. I give you credit for mowing but there is no way for me. I can't push anything heavy or lift. I am walking 20minutes now and errands but things like housecleaning or a lot of bending is a no. Other things like biking too is a no. I do push like today did way to much and felt the pain.My issue is the inner ankles and legs but now have a back issue too. For me I have to find the balance. When I joined this forum I was in bed full days in pain and now can walk like I said 20 minute and out errands etc. I remember last year the doc said I had to learn to live with my pain and I was like no way in hell but I have realized what is the alternative to go back to bed like last year and no way. Sorry this is off base. I guess for me I pick the things I can do and the others I let go or have others do. To be honest though before the pn I would of not mowed the lawn but I was super active at the gym etc. My goal is to just be able to do normal things like work,school,social and be in tolerable pain. Feel better.
