Hi @nannyjakey
I am sorry to hear that you are in such pain all the time and that it has forced you to retire.
You may find our Chronic pain discussions where you may find some useful tips and support.
I hope this helps you.
Take care

Hi @nannyjakey
I have also had back problems with disc degeneration, legs giving way etc and was medically retired 10 years ago. There are many of us here to offer support!
