Please do not give up on him. It is so hard for him and you, I know. Please keep encourage him to help him self. Exercise is so important to stay ahead of the pain. Eating greens is vital and avoid sugar at all costs it will add to his pain levels. Try to suggest a therapist I see one who helps cope with chronic pain, and I highly recommend it. Pain medicines are necessary for physical function however a therapist is vital to the emotional effects of chronic pain. He has to help himself to be of any help to others. Keep the faith my friend and just try to be as patient as possible. It will pay of greatly.

Hi Nicole
I just joined this support group and my god we have so much in common your whole short story in a nut shell is almost exactly as mine. I am so sorry to hear of your pain journey, what a awful journey. I am so happy you stay so positive and find the strength in your family. I do as well some days I just cry… why can’t I pick up my 3 year old, why can’t I bend over to pick up his what ever he has just dropped on the floor, I often ask myself am I a good enough mom? It is so frustrating to know you are going to wake up in pain, and its hard sleeping at night trying to get comfortable. Oh and forget about it if my husband wakes me up in the middle of the night, I can never get back to sleep b/c the pain is debilitating. Just reading your words helped me know I am ok, and I am not the only one in this awful position. I look forward to learning more. thank you
