I'm feeling so discouraged. My pelvic bone pain, which started during pregnancy, hasn't gotten better.  Sitting and standing are so painful that I can only do what is absolutely required.  Lying down is the only thing that helps, but even then I'm in so much pain.  I do finally have a physiotherapy appointment next week, so we'll see.  

But it's always something major going on with my health.  I've had terrible neck and back pain for 5 years, which cause terrible headaches.  During pregnancy I was stuck in bed with all day morning sickness for 4 months. I literally could not leave the bed except for a short shower once per day.  Then my life was ruled by gestational diabetes.  And in the last part of pregnancy up till now, I've had this terrible pelvic bone pain.  Also, still haven't been able to have sex with my husband since having the baby. 

I feel so discouraged that it's always something.  And I keep thinking I won't be able to do x or y special thing with my baby because I can't walk. I can't even go grocery shopping due to the pain. I'll never be able to travel.  And what a drag for my husband that he has to take care of most things around the house and errands in addition to going to work.  

I can't even go anywhere or do anything around the house to get myself up because all I can do is lie flat and read or watch TV.  

I know it could be worse... I'm just feeling so low right now.  For crying out loud, we have food spoiling in the fridge right now because I can't stand long enough to cook.  I just want to be pain free, I want a normal life, I want to be able to do normal things!

And if this is how I have been since age 27, what kind of mid life or elderly life do I have to look forward to?

And I can't even imagine having another baby and putting my body through all this again.
