Loren, The arthritis doctor found I had bursitis plus OA. Make sure that
isn't your problem as shots and stretching will mostly take care of that.
You have two other problems though I am not familiar with. I was so shocked
to hear I had bursitis.  

Becky hugging you tightly

Hi,

I am really sorry for asking again but what type of power chair would I need
to get, if I do? 

 

I am having much more difficulty walking. I have osteoarthritis,
fibromyalgia and venous insufficiency, all of which make it painful to walk.
I ended up in the ER due to the pain level. My nurse practicioner just says
"take tylenol." Yeah, right. 

 

The ER dr. suggested my working on realizing that my walking days may be
about done and I might need a power chair. I'm surprised she suggested it
without panicking about how I would steer it.

Thanks,

Lauren
