Hi 6thdan,

I am so sorry your provider doesn’t listen to you. Are you in the position to find a different provider? There are still some good ones out there that do listen. I too have lived with pain for over 30 years and I do very much understand the frustration, anger and all the emotions that comes along with it.

Having support from friends,…[Read more]

Hi Tiffany,

Welcome to The Pain Community. I understand that for some talking about the pain constantly can make life harder to do with. It’s like you start to sink in the depths of depression and it is hard to fight one’s way out. It can be helpful to share with others who do truly understand. We can support each other and share what has helped…[Read more]

Hi,

I am sorry to hear all you have been through. I took care of my in-laws and after my mother in law passed we had to move my father in law in with us. He had a few health issues but nothing major. He did not want to do anything but sit and watch tv and sleep. It got to the point that he could hardly walk and was falling a good bit.

His…[Read more]

Hi, welcome to TPC. We each go through the grieving process. Once I found that I was able to accept my new normal I found it easier to concentrate on moving forward. It isn’t easy to accept the changes a life of pain brings.

We hope that you will find resources and blogs that are helpful to you. We have hosted chats Monday-Wednesday-Friday at…[Read more]

Hi, Hamonfire

I live with neck pain. May I ask what type of information or advice that you are asking for?

My neck pain is a result of progressive degenerative joint disease that started 28 years ago.

Hi Doug,

With chronic back pain and conditions the way we sit can impact us. After reading your post I decided to do a little research and I found something on Amazon that may be what you are looking for.
It says “When your posture starts to slip, the device vibrates to remind you to straighten up.”

It is called the:

Hi Skypanther,

I am sorry to hear all that you have going on. I hope you were able to hire the CNA to help you with your Mother. Living with pain and being the soul caregiver for a loved one is extremely hard. I am not a medical professional so I cannot give medical advice but I can make the suggestion that you speak to your doctor and let them…[Read more]
