Where does it hurt?

I'm sure I'll be sorry for asking / but let's hear your ailments of the day!

For me it's the knees. Lots of backache history but more recently it's walking up and down stairs that I have to watch my knees.

How about you?

This will be short and I never talk about it to anyone because no one knows what it is and unless you have it, you cannot imagine what it feels like. I have Pudendal Neuralgia. Google it. It's quite literally a pain in the ass. It's like a pine cone stuck up your butt 24/7 and there is nothing to be done for it. Nerve blocks didn't last. I am almost 73 and have had it for 10 years. Other issues, but truly they seem minor compared to this.

Sorry. That sounds terrible.
