Hello
I joined today because I would like to chat with others that suffer this disabilitating condition.
I'm 53 and have oesteoarthrius , severe lumbar stenosis at l3,4 and 5 and herniated disc.
Work is increasingly difficult.
I tried for a blue badge but was refused. I don't go far as I can not walk any distance.

I've suffered back pain for many years. Last year, finally, had x-ray and MRI scan showing 4 healed lumbar fractures and 5 bulging discs. Spinal block injection failed to help chronic pain, which gets worse and worse. Now find the pain is due to spinal stenosis. Taken tramadol 13 years, now CBD oil from Holland and Barrett but pain so severe at times, especially at night, nothing works and I cry.
