What Causes Constant Pain In The Lower Back?
I am having constant pain in my lower back, both knees, and right hip. I have been told by my primary care doctor that I have arthritis, fibremyalgis, and pain due to type 2 diabetes. I had xrays done today. I am taking meloxicam, gabopentin, and anbumetone , with little relief. I am using a cane and walker to get around. What do you think? I am 74 yrs old my email : YYYY@YYYY
