in Start here and say hello!
Just joined

I have spinal problems (spondylolisthesis)

I had an operation a year ago, which took away a lot of the pain

I am now suffering from muscular probllems. I can barely move and I spend a lot of time at home unable to get out.

It is horribly depressing.

Anyone else going through something similar? I'd love to chat - I'm retired and at home with my pain most days...

    Hello @KeithF. It's really good to have you with us. I think many of our members are in similar situations and hopefully they'll be able to share their experiences with you. Do you have many hobbies you're able to do from home?
