I literally live in pain 24/7, it’s degenerative and there’s nothing that at my stage that can be done … Unfortunately, I lived with it for a very long time and I just kept my mouth shut, which is probably not the smartest thing to do. So now I ’m dealing with it on both knees. I’ve been told I have absolutely no cartiidge left on my neck. My hands are a nightmare. And I ’m just waiting to see what else starts hurting at this point … Unfortunately, there’s just nothing that can be done about that. I ’m just trying to deal with it the best I can. You take your high blood pressure medicine, a lot of vitamins, and hope for the best.
