"I still have days where even getting out of bed to take a piss is a challenge in it's own right"  Fuck, this. And if it's not the pain, it's the fatigue!   Good to hear it's gotten better, though! I'm currently trying to drop the weight I gained when I went on new meds for an unrelated problem, and eating better and (doing my best to) exercising really has made me feel noticeably better.
