I've been suffering from chronic pain since 2019 after I was rear-ended. I have fibromyalgia that developed shortly after the accident. I saw in my medical records recently that my pain management doctor had also diagnosed me with Chronic Pain Syndrome. I didn't even know that was a thing.
If you've been diagnosed with it what have your doctors done and what have you found helpful for your pain?

Once and awhile you’ll find a dr who knows pain… read more
