Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

How do I find a therapist?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

Thank you so much for your wisdom. I don't think in that mind set but you are so right on with your words. I hope to get a break thru with my Dr tomorrow. Will try your approach.

Radiofrequency Ablation
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

How often can one get this procedure done?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

I am scheduled for this procedure at the Allevio Pain Management Clinic in Toronto. Medications, alternative therapies, and cervical spine surgery have been ineffective in pain management. Healthcare… read more

Radiofrequency Neurotomy
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am on the waitlist for cervical spine Radiofrequency Neurotomy. I had a C4-C5 cervical spine surgery with iliac bone fusion in Sept 2019. It did not resolve the pain, it worsened the pain and further decreased range of motion. I also had a fusion at L4-L5 in 2002, and lumbo-sacral tarlov cysts removed in 2021 (since grew back). I have advanced OA (cervical spine greatly affected), tarlov cysts, and Myofascial Syndrome. For those that had the procedure done, what was your experience and… read more

I’m at my wits end. Having tried literally everything there is and I’m now going to enquire with a neurosurgeon about this radio frequency treatment.
Has anyone with peripheral neuropathy tried this?

Well This Is A Bad Day. Ever Feel Like Everything Bad Seems To Seek Out Your Depression Days?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

So yeah I had aqua therapy yesterday and I am in pain today, we are both depressed and trying to get through it and we just found out Anthony Bourdain committed suicide, due to depression! On top of all this, there are certain people who I am trying to distance myself from, that won't quit texting me in an attempt to pull me back in. I am already in pain, am depressed, they disrespected that and caused me trouble and I find out Anthony died! What's a person to do?!

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

How Do I Share A Picture Of My Companion Animal.
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

His name is Bugsie, were together 24\7, sometimes he's my only company. He warns me when Ive got a migraine coming on. He keeps me active when I'm able but is quite happy just hanging out on the couch watching a movie or curling up in bed with me in bad days. He also keeps me calm through stressful situations - I have a paradoxical reaction to anxiety meds, so he is my anxiety 💊. When were out he's strictly business but relaxes & let's loose at home. I don't think I'd make it out of bed or leave… read more
