Reading your post is like reading about myself, J haven't had any recent
surgery. I too describe myself as walking like Frankenstein. I drag my right
leg as I walk. My lower- lower rear end hurts a lot. The only thing that helps
the pain is the epidural injections, One injection a month for three months.
The pain relief lasts a couple months. Thia morning I am going back to my VA red
team doctor to see if I can get another set of epidural injections.
I tried going to non VA doctors but my medicare doctor appointments are like 5
minutes long

I used to enjoy walking and 10 speed bike riding. My legs hurt to much now.
Without that exercise I am gaining a lot of weight. I use a walker off and on.

Thanks for writing.
