That sounds like an incredible amount on surgery. At some point, I think I will need to have some surgeries. I have so much stuff going on and it would probably be pointless to go into it all. We have to be strong you hang in there you’ll see me around so let’s keep in touch. Thank you for your response.
I am going to be the same situation as you it sounds like. My body has become like a demolition site.! I know all about the snap crackling and popping. At one point I was hoping for a hip replacement, but the surgeon said my hip is too far damaged and I’m not a candidate for surgery.. I took it very hard. What can you do but keep on fighting.. quitting is not an option. Take care of my friend.
I kept having problems with my neck and back. MRI said that I had bone spurs from my neck to my tailbone. My neck has fused it self in two places. My body is eat up with bone spurs. There is nothing to do except take one day at a time. My body is like a rice crispy treat. Every time I move something snaps, crackles and pops.
Hugs to all
Thank you for your response. Kind of you.
