I hope you will call that pain clinic if they don't reach out to you soon.

i was given a referral today for the pain management clinic. Not sure even how to begin... but it does feel like an advancement in a forward direction.

chronic pain can redefine a persons life. it is hard to live with but can be lived with in most cases. sometimes it takes meds, physical therapy etc. and a whole lot of self determination. i am still struggling but am not suicidal at the moment, when i have bad spikes it crosses my mind but pain always comes down to a reasonable level. not counting spikes i live in the 5 out of 10 range and happy to be at that level, which is sad in this day and age lol

It is sad. , I'm sorry it keeps going high. I get a couple hours of relief. I wish doctors wouldn't be told to discontinue opiods for patients that need it. Mine just lets me have enough for a few hours of relief a day. Now I threw the other sacroiliac joint out of whack by tring to get too much done and have the place clean. I'll just have to let my older son see it, he already said on the phone ''I think I've seen everything'' meaning he's seen me in a mess. I find it frustrating when I really want to clean more. Hugs if you want and have a Merry Christmas Mike!
