So I went to the spine specialist and his physical therapist yesterday and was informed that my back is in such bad shape that it's also now affecting my hips making them turn out, the normal person should have 35-40 degrees of rotation in their hips and I have 8 degrees of rotation. They said to pretend my back was a glass tower that can shatter at any minute. I was told to not expect the pain to go away for quite some time and that as it's getting worse I may have to start walking with crutches or a cane because soon my hips and lower back wont be able to support much weight. I am so fed up with being in pain 24 hours a day, I can't function as a normal person and its driving me nuts. It's getting very hard each day to get out of bed and start my pain filled days. The only good thing is I may have a new job lined up in the next week or two.
