My question is to your knowledge has Fibro patients even been crippled and have to use a cane or wheelchair? I have had Fibro since 1989. I am 72 and I am not ready for that yet. I try to keep very active which is what one is suppose to do with Fibro. When I walk it feels as tho I have no core to support me. I begin to walk with my nose to the ground u might say. Can not hold anything in front of me to carry. I Had surgery in 2009 and the main question I asked the Dr. was, will I be able to walk better, and he said better than ever. I had arthritis in the lower back which I didn t know at the time of surgery. I am pinned, screws, and rods plus caged, had Stenosis. It effects me in the very lower pelvic area under which the surgery was done. If I put my hand back in that area and push in, it helps a little. I am no way ready for this to happen to me. I know some times we don t have a choice. I will keep fighting, I don t give up that easily. Thank u very much, Pat
