Spinal stenosis suffer
Hi, I'm a lady living in Cornwall. Have suffered with Spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis. Approaching the big 60 in April. I had surgery in November, cement in lumber spine. Hasn't worked, the pain is worse. So alone in Cornwall. Carers cost absolutely ridiculous. Rely on my poor Daughter. Just reaching out to anyone else in Cornwall who is lonely and disabled. Really not good for your mental health.

I'm nowhere near Cornwall, in the Scottish Highlands, but if you ever want a blether send me a message.
Oh, me = 67 with SPMS & degenerative lumbar discs.

The same here Sonia. I don't live near Cornwall either, although my Grandfather was Cornish, Launceston.
I'm South Wales, so a bit nearer than @GalDriver above😁
I'm 66. With chronic sciatica, since my early 30's. Osteoarthritis, Raynaud's and anxiety/depression.
Sorry to hear the surgery didn't work 😔 That is one of the reasons I never had surgery many years ago for my sciatica.
