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, RobertBNeese231,

Welcome to The Pain Community.

Take a look around and if you need any assistance please let me know. I wanted to share with you that we have a support conference call every Tuesday if you are in the United States.

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.

Kelly65,

I am sorry to hear all of this. Living with pain is hard and sometimes those around us don’t understand. Feeling isolated is one of the big things that we live with on our journey of pain.

I will be here for you all that I can if you like.

Gentle hugs

Clementine,

Can you maybe go see a primary care doctor, that can maybe order a group of tests to find the answer that you need. I do hope you are able to find the help that you need.

Hi,
Living with chronic pain and illness is hard, it is lonely and so much more. I started my pain journey when I was 24 years old, it took 3 years to get the right diagnosis, so don’t give up on getting to the right dx.

Pain changes our lives and sometimes the people around us. The forums here on The Pain Community website is good place to talk…[Read more]

Hi,

Welcome to The Pain Community discussion forums. First let me say you are not alone. We do understand a life of chronic pain and how lonely it is. I was 24 when my pain journey started and that was a long time ago however I know exactly what you are saying. I was a young mother of 3 kids when my pain started. It is hard to be a caregiver for…[Read more]
