Relationships and Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can put a strain on a relationship. A partner or significant other may struggle to understand the ups and downs of pain. One day we feel fine, the next day it's difficult to move. Sometimes we don't know how to ask for help, and sometimes our loved ones don't know how to help.
