Redisin02,

I am sorry you going through all of this. I was the Mom to three girls all under the age of 7 years old when my pain started. It is so very hard to stay in a positive place for our children when we are dealing with unrelenting pain.

You are not a worthless Mom, your children need want and need you, that hasn’t changed. I know the…[Read more]

Hi CatesAM,

I am sorry you are experiencing this. Was you able to set up the home health care? We totally understand about concentration being difficult. For many of us we live with a fog of sorts that can and does affect our ability to concentrate for very long.

Please do let us know how you are doing.

Take care,

Hi Babyleggs88,

You are correct, if people who do not live with pain could visualize our pain they would understand it better.

It is hard to understand or comprehend what they cannot see, touch, feel or smell. It goes back to how we are taught as children to comprehend things by using our senses.

We wish you the best and invite you to join in…[Read more]

Hi Josie,

We are all unique in how pain affects us and the intensity of the pain that we live it. You should not compare your pain to others because yes your pain is real.

We each have our own diagnosis of what is causing the pain and the pain will interact in our lives differently and it does not matter if one person’s pain is less than someone…[Read more]

Hi Confused Me,

I have never had braces but one of my children did. When she first had the braces put on, she did have some pain and discomfort. I was told when I consulted her dentist that it was normal and that the pain would ease off after a few days. She was told she could use over the counter pain relievers as needed (please consult your…[Read more]

It is nice to meet you, welcome to The Pain Community.

I am sorry to hear that you have been unable to find the cause of your pain and find relief. You mentioned doing therapy and other things.

Hi Ger,

I am happy to hear that you are back on the medication that you feel comfortable with and your pain levels are under control.

Take care,

txgal1960, I also have a hard time with meditation. My mind never seems to allow me to slow down long enough to grasp the good that meditation can be. I have had good results using things as a distraction and mentally healing for my pain. I am enjoying the Healing Arts Experience that The Pain Community has launched.

Hi Ger Bloom

It is nice to meet you. I am unable to answer your question personally about Morphine as a daily pain management. However I wanted to welcome you, The Pain Community. The only time I have taken morphine is when I broke my arm. It did help the pain. I hope some others who be able to answer your question more in-depth.

Take care,

Noki4
