hi. I've asked before but has anyone found any work they can do from home? Thanks
My birthday yesterday JG
what do you do to get your doctor to listen to you and see how bad you hurt ! i have started a pain journal; but the dr wont even look at it ??
I too had to keep looking for a Dr who would really listen to me. He has and is working with me on controlling my pain. Keep looking and ask questions! Good Luck.
My pain management doctor, who I've only seen once for an initial consultation has told me I have DDD (Degenertive Disk Disease) and arthritis in the back and had me go back to physical therapy, which I finished months ago and had said that if the physical therapy didn't work, she recommends shots in the back. I wondered if anyone can give any insight to this procedure, are there side effects? Also, I live alone so I'm not sure if the shots cause pain enough to make household chores difficult… read more
NO, not really I had some shots, but found out it degenerates bones. I had a back op instead.

Has anyone been affected by this yet?
My regular pain dr saw me for 5 years, and then started doing stem cell therapy and no longer seeing pain clinic patients. Must be more $$ in it for him. Was seeing 2 other pain doctors at the same… read more

Noo it hurts too much PMSL
Ive avoided going to the hospital when my pelvic pains flair up, because i know theres nothong they can do for me. Ive taken panadol, ibuprofen, and my prescribed codeine, none of it helps and i usually end up vomiting because of how painful it can get, its imobilising. I know the hospital cant give me anything or help in any way, i usually just get a few tests and am told to go home. And just wait for my ultrasound in 2 weeks from now. Help?
@A MyChronicPainTeam Member what “tools” did they give you in the Er?
