I don't always want to tell people but i have some people at work who are insistant and if i saybthe bare minimum about the subject when they ask they seem to ignore what I'm saying and think ill be better in a few days and then the cycle starts all over again..

It's frustrating talking to people who have never had chronic pain they always suggest a supplement or something like that that's not going to do a thing
