How do you get your motivation back after a long fight with pain. The feeling of giving up when nothing seems to go right? When those you talk to say they don't wanna hear it anymore? When you have so much that needs done but your body won't cooperate and you feel overwhelmed.
Hello, and sorry your suffering because I suffer so much it is for 2 or 3 people
The pain, I have to take a narcotic, and if they do not work. I go to 911 because I can not control the pain. I have… read more
I’m curious to know for all my family out there, what music do you listen to when coping or trying to connect with your higher power? If you don’t have a higher power, what do you use to connect with yourself at the deepest levels?
That's a good question, I try to listen to music and does not connect me with any spiritual guide that I need. I go to church and I don't find the spiritual guy there either I Believe in the Higher… read more
I hate the question "is your pain achey, throbbing, stabbing, etc?" I never know how to answer

I have a friend who thinks that I am putting it on, when I say that I am in pain, as she just says, well you look good, are you sure you have pain, this really hurts me inside. Do any of you have friends or family who think that the pain is in your head?

I've been through the wringer with pain meds, clinics, injections
Y'all know. I know you've all been through it too
I'm allergic to most anti inflamitories so pain meds have to be strong. I can't get a doctor in the entire city to keep me comfortable until my therapist gave me Tramadol a year ago. Upping the doses was fine but taking so many pills a day was ridiculous!
I spoke at length to my fantastic pharmacist that said I either need Percocet (which metabolizes too fast for my body and… read more

If so how do you cope with the pain that changed your life!!! I don’t know if it’s just me but when I was told we are trying to deal with your pain and give you some quality of life back 🤔really are we to feel so much better to live with health issues I mean it just can’t be me that knows by your Drs saying that to you that you actually feel so much better and still dealing with pain, quality of life back sounds like it should be said to the patients that even though they are suffering they’ll… read more
