ROFL...... yes I can laugh without it hurting... now.

When I realized my wrists didnt hurt anymore if I stayed off the bread and pasta, quitting bread and pasta and sweets was EASY. I don't have time for pain. Keeping very low carb keeps the pain at bay. If I slip up.... I get a rude reminder!! lol

After a lifetime of making homemade breads,, and eating them, I dont miss bread very often. There are good recipes for low carb breads if desired.

My issues are crushed sciatic nerve that has left some foot drop and nephropathy in my right foot and a bit of arthritis. There is some level of pain all the time but it does not stop me from moving!

Geez Ron, tough when damage is not fully repairabale. I did learn that some nerve damage is repairable given lots of time; not a sure fire bet, but nerves can do a lot in the time right after the damage.

Pain. Pain stinks. I was supposed to get arthritis in my smashed wrist.... but the years of low carb has prevented it. Do you eat LC, or tried it?? You might find it will help even NOW. While my wrist doesnt hurt anymore, even if I fall off the wagon, it is my back that says--- ENOUGH!!

THis is my favorite low carb dessert right now. Great with frozen berries, and use almond extract.

Pain sux.

I once told my doctor that I don't mind getting 'older'. It's a blessing to be able to just say I made it to 66. I just never thought I'd be dealing with so much pain along the journey.

You are lucky if low carb helps you. I really can't say I notice much difference. I try to follow a gout diet as closely as possible and it's no red meat and no concentrated sugars or high fructose. If I do low carb I have no energy and drop weight like a stone. It's hard to avoid sugars and high fructose so I try to keep processed foods to a minimum. I make our bread and things like applesauce where I can control the amount of sugar that goes into what I make.

It has been 10 years and I do get a bit more feeling so the nerve is repairing very slowly still. The problem is that this is the longest nerve in the body and the recovery goes slower the further down the nerve.
