Does it hurt? What's it feel like?

Q.Does it hurt? What's it feel like?

A. This is tough. The disease itself doesn't hurt, but the things it causes do. For example, Scoliosis is a common side effect of MD, so I'm in constant back pain while in my chair. I also get numb legs all the time, so I have to be repositioned regularly. I can only go about two hours in my chair without being in pain/discomfort. The only time I'm really comfortable is in bed, and even then I have to be in the perfect position, which differs from day to day.

Oh, and I often accidentally sit on my balls a lot, but I attribute that more to their size than to MD.
