Hi @kymberlee71 Welcome to the Community. I am sorry you are having such a difficult time. Have you talked to your GP about pain to see if he can offer any help. Any questions just ask. Take care.

Most Hospitals have a Pain management clinic, perhaps you could ask your GP for a referral?

Heya @kymberlee71 and welcome from me too. 😊

Sorry to hear you're struggling with your job. Have you spoken to your manager about this? Would you be able to do anything that''ll involve less standing up?
