Is there any kind of rehab you can do? One thing I've found with modern medicine is that they focus on getting someone healed until they can do basic things like sit and walk, which allows them to sit in an office, and sit in a car. But, they don't address the other needs someone might have, like if they're a dancer, or a martial artist, or a cyclist.

I've had some severe injuries over the years, and they basically called my rehab done when I could sit, stand and walk. But, on my own I've worked on my range of motion and strength to do more than just those basics.

    Part of the problem is that I've learned to accept and work around so much chronic pain that I just realize there are activities I can't engage in. I really need to do something as this has gotten markedly worse in the past couple years despite being quite active (I walk at a very brisk place for 5-8 miles per day).
