While I have terrible pain in my lower back, especially when I move or walk, I was also blessed with a high tolerance for pain. However my biggest complaint with TM is the unsteadiness, fatigue, endurance, and lack of strength. My "bad" R leg & my "bad" L arm/hand only have about 20 - 30% while my other limbs have about 50 - 60%. Everything I do seems to take 3 to 4X as long and patience was never in my vocabulary but it now is in the VERY front of everything now.

I have minimal pain - seldom take even Tylenol unless it's bad enough to keep me awake - and yet I haven't been able to go back to work since TM hit me! I getting closer to going back - maybe part time, but I'm to there yet, after 2 years! My problem hasn't been pain so much as fatigue and lack of endurance. It's hard for me to imagine you working, when you also have the pain. I guess it affects us all differently - as we've talked about before. Sally See what's free at AOL.com.
