As a physician I apologize for my profession. The way that ER doctor spoke to you was horrible and sent you down the path of hopelessness. I too had a struggle with back and nerve pain. It was 5 years ago and I basically had to diagnose and cure myself. I went from a fully functional person to almost an invalid in a few weeks time. Mine was directly related to menopause , but no one would believe me. I told my doctor to prescribe me a hormone patch, because what did I have to lose at that point. 80% of my pain resolved within 2 weeks. Estrogen is neuroprotective. The rest resolved over time. Off and on I will have some lower back pain, but totally tolerable. I am glad you are better. I wish my profession was better and specifically when dealing with female patients. 😥

Great comment, thanks for posting!

[@terihoffman4881]

That is an amazing story. I am so glad you are now pain-free! In May of 2020 I went through surgery in Ann Arbor to remove an 11 lb mass that had grown in my right abdomen which then resulted in a full hysterectomy. I was told it was not cancerous.....just to be called 6 days later To say I did have cancer. I went to a local cancer center & was told I had stage 4 appendicel cancer with 2 to 4 years to live. No surgery just chemo til I die. Since I live in MI, I went to Chicago cancer center for a 2nd opinion. They gave me 4 rounds of chemo, did the hi-pec surgery on me where they remove all the cancer they see & put heated chemo into your abdomen for 90 minutes. I then had 4 more rounds of chemo. That was 2 years ago.......my last scan in November showed I am cancer free!! Praise the Lord. I know it was all the people praying & my faith in God that brought me through. We all have a story & I'm so glad you are thriving & feeling great!!

You just reminded me of a saying: Wayne Dyer frequently discussed the statement ‘If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change’. He stated that in order to change things in our life we need to change the way we look at things.

[@---wu3qj]

Dear Angela, Same with me, but my acute pain was for 20 years. I had to school my children with it, many times lying down. I could not go to lunch with friends, or church as I could not sit without pain. Many Christians looked down on me for not being “ healed”. ( Their belief was that I didn’t have enough faith!) I am in less pain now after a double fusion, but I still have to live a very limited life. I am thankful for every little pleasure now. I do not take for granted anything! Rev. 21:4 and James 5:11 are my anchor. There is no earthy sorrow that heaven cannot heal.❤ XOXO

The mind is a powerful thing the Lord has given. If you ever fell down & in a funk He also gave us His word, the Bible and that is FULL of hope.

I’ve just recently found your channel, Angela, and have enjoyed them all. But today I came across this video and I am deeply touched by your honesty in sharing your story (and you are an excellent story teller, btw). I’m over 20 years older so my story is a wee bit longer (2 back surgeries, stage III ovarian cancer back in 1995 and I just lost my husband of 55 years in June. I am trying to find my way in the world again and I’m starting by flying to Germany to visit family. Yes, I was born over there. After that, I really don’t know, but like you, I know that what you focus on, grows, so I’m staying positive and taking it one day at a time. Thank you for sharing.

[@rosecook8598]

Nerve pain is awful. It is difficult when you have been a mom and your children no longer depend on you as they did. Finding a purpose is so important. I am happy you found your new purpose. Resilience is so important. It’s incredible how our mind and emotions dictate our bodies well being. Good for you. You are such a lovely open hearted person. Glad you shared this for yourself and for your audience. It was perfect.

[@chrystalchapin6152]

Found your you tube channel this afternoon and watched a few of your fashion over 50 episodes. Then boom!!!!!up popped your one on your life of over 4 years of pain. I am 76 in June and live with osteoporosis, my first fracture was in my late 20s. Now have been going thru several fractures over 14 at my last count......listening to your story has given me so much hope. I try to live a healthy life, eat right, have lots of hobbies, live in the country on a beautiful river. Try to stay so focused and careful.....and then there is that split second when......you sneeze, turn your body wrong, slip or misstep.....and wham...fracture! The pain is excruciating, life goes backwards several steps until healing begins. Then forward ...march! I just have to focus again....and STAY FOCUSED. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your success, it has helped my mind to "focus" again on my recent setback and my 2nd day of healing again.

Angela I was in a cat accident and I had pain on but down my leg. Aftet countless injections and no relief pain med did not work except the pain made me not care. I had herniated disks bulging discs and spinal stenosis. I had it for 3 yrs so I went to get a second opinion. Again I was going to have to live with it. One surgeon said I would be paralyzed. Again my attorney referred to any surgeon Dr. ATLAS WELL HE SAVED MY LIFE. SINCE THAT TIME I GOT A SECOND SURGERY BECAUSE SIATIC CAME BACK ON OPPOSITE SIDE. DR. ATTAS performed a second and fixed everything. But second surgery was very invasive All previous metal hade to be removed. Now L1 thru L5 are fused and attached to cylinder. The rods had to be removed. Best thing I could have done. I am now 67 yrs old and no back pain. I went through this journey when I was 50 yys old I thought if I have to live this way I would not survive. I can sympathize with you. God bless you in your journey looks like your own your way for a much better life pain free. Diane Petrone

[@janicesaccomanno5971]

The mind body connection is so powerful. I have struggled for many years with multiple spinal issues from an injury when working as a surgical nurse. The pain has worsened every year and I recently had an ablation which burns the nerves causing the pain. Feeling worse but giving it a chance because they said it can take weeks before you feel relief. As you know chronic pain robs you of joy and your life in general which causes depression. It is hard not to focus on the pain when experiencing it but I will try to find a way to reroute my negative feelings with a new purpose.

Sister I know exactly how you feel, except my story doesn’t end as well. It took 6 months to get properly diagnosed with MS,CIDP, THYROID AND FIBROMYALGIA. I actually went to Mayo Clinic because I couldn’t believe it. I am not going into detail, i could write a book! But the word MINDSET has come up twice today In conversations I have had. Because I refuse to let these diseases control my life and I get up every morning even if I don’t feel like it and try to be productive in some way or help someone else. It makes all the difference, so I can truly say I needed this today and I’m so happy I get to be your friend. Blessings, prayers and love to you and yours Angela 🙏🙌💛

[@danacataldi5119]

I have a similar story, and I too am grateful for my back pain. After months of back/sciatica pain of 8-9/10 I decided to retire from my remote Nurse Case Manager job at age 64. I had put off my mammogram for a few years. So now that I had time, I scheduled one. After several imaginings and a sonogram, I was biopsied on my left breast. It came back positive for Stage 1 adenocarcinoma. I noticed a little vaginal bleeding after the breast biopsy and scheduled a GYN appointment. He noted uterine thickening and after further testing and a biopsy I was diagnosed with Stage 1A Uterine Cancer. I hadn't been to the GYN in 6 years. I had a left breast lobectomy in January and a total hysterectomy in March. The cancers were not related. My lymph nodes for both surgeries were negative. I completed Radiation in June and am taking a hormone blocker. I am blessed. I feel my back pain was a wake up call to take care of myself. I would probably have ignored getting my Mammogram and skipped my GYN appointments. My back pain was an 8/10 through out all surgeries. My last cortisone injection only gave me minimal relief and I finally started considering back surgery. I was scheduled for a CT scan in preparation. The morning of the CT scan I woke up with my pain a 3/10. I slept a full 7 hours. I went back to PT to help with my gait and climbing stairs because my right leg was so weak from the pinched sciatica nerve. I have now graduated from PT and continue to work on my gait and strength on my own. I think my back pain told me surgery was not for me. It is a blessing.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer (no history of it in my family) at 46! Mastectomy, chemo, radiation, reconstruction. Took 2 years out of my life constantly treating. It’s been 16 years since I was diagnosed. (More major surgery a year ago to remove the reconstructed implant which had gone bad!). BUT I worked while going through those 2 years because it gave me a reason to get up. My co workers were so positive and supporting. It was a way to take my mind off myself and what I was going through. The power of positive thinking, surrounding yourself with positive people, the power of prayer and good doctors got me through a terrible time in my life. And it does make you see what is really important and what you can let go of or not let stress you out! Your videos are always fun, informative and I have gone looking for several items you show!

I started focusing on helping others more and also taking the steps to take care of myself emotionally and physically. I started working out which helped with both.

I too have been in pain I needed to hear this today. Blessings to you. 💗

I am a person who has suffered for years with back pain. I finally found the perfect healthcare professionals and an excellent chiropractor who was able to fix that bulged disk by careful adjustments over months and prayer. Thank you for sharing your story. People without pain just don’t understand. Blessings from Texas.💗

I am so happy that your pain disappeared Angela! I so love watching you, I feel like I'm sitting down with a friend. 💖

Thank you for sharing your story I’m so sorry that you had to go through such terrible pain. I’m so glad you’re feeling so much better! It goes to show you never know what someone else is going through or have gone through. I haven’t gone through such pain as you but you have uplifted and encouraged me through your story. I’m fairly new to your channel and I enjoy watching your videos so much. God bless you and take care ❤️

[@dittohead7044]

Bless your heart. I’m so sorry you have been through this but you turned beauty out of the ashes ❤️

[@cindysilver3988]

Angela, so sorry you went through all that. The first time I viewed your videos I was drawn to you because of your enthusiasm and your joyful outlook. I had never watched a fashion video before. I’m 67 and lost over 100lbs and needed help finding a new style without spending a lot of money. Now I always look forward to your weekly video. Thank you for sharing your story. That was very brave! Keep shopping!

Thank you for sharing your story Angela! KZbin has been a similar healing agent for me as well. I was stuck in my life. Carrying 100 extra pounds - feeling like a failure. I started my channel sharing my needlework on a whim one day and have continued for 3 years - slowly learning and building friendships and relationships with like-minded women all over the world. I had been so isolated in my situation. I got the confidence to address my health and am now 75 pounds down. I am a new person. I also built such a support group that losing my mom 6 months ago felt like I had a network behind me - praying for me and just being amazing people. I thank God for KZbin because it brought community into my life and a joy that was so unexpected. I pray you continue to experience healing and joy. Blessings, Cynthia

[@angelamasson-fashionover50]

I was always searching for a purpose..wondering what am I doing here...then I figured out that just being me in life is my purpose...we all have a light to shine...small things each of us do create a chain reaction of events...life can damage us...change us...remind us of whats important..finding happiness within ourselves..because of who we are.not so much about what we do in ilfe..thats a goal to achieve in life ...an easy one if you think about it :) If you can make one person smile or laugh or help them see what they cant see in themselves is a great purpose...everything is a chain of events..im just a link in the chain...even if I might be the weakest link at times lol..thats ok..thats me.. thanks for giving me a place to share my random thoughts...I dont usually share them often. Life is good! :)

[@Joy-wx5wd]

I just had the conversation with my friends last night! They are in their 50’s and I’m in my 60’s. We all feel kind of stuck and helpless. Need to find our purpose.

[@angelamasson-fashionover50]

It makes a total difference in each day that is for sure!

[@fabavb]
