Unfortunately, yes, the pain is always there and gets worse upon exertion. A lot of it seems to be exactly where my surgeries were done, but after I start walking or lifting, it becomes a stitch feeling that travels from my kidneys, cramps from my hips down my legs, to my feet. This happens throughout the day, every single day (unless I don't move at all) and to be honest I just go to the floor asap and wait til it's not quite as intense. Of course, I still do my daily yoga and don't give up on walking. But it's become even worse since hitting stage 4 and is showing no sign of easing.

I went foe an interview this morning and walked part of the way home. I was so exhausted that I almost didn't make it to my therapy appointment. I also was in so much pain that I couldn't dance today.😪

I am able to walk but not as quickly as I used to be able to. I am a tap dancer and dance as much as I can.
