I am a mother of 3. I work full time, have a daughter that is in softball. I have a wonderful husband that I love dearly and has been a real life saver. About 6 years ago I started have back pain. I didn't have health insurance at the time so I waited until 2 1/2 years ago and started going to the doctor. At first the doctor just told me to exercise, guess what I didn't take that answer and found out later I have DDD, Arthritis in my facet joints, SI joint problems, labral tear in my hip. Now nothing they do will help, now it is time just to manage the pain.
