Advice:
Angry with Back Pain?
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
Does anyone else ever get angry with back pain. I certainly do. I have things to do and places to go. I have a family, work, school and goals to accomplish. I'm in so much pain after my last P/T session and it gets to me when I'm busy and don't have time for this **S**. I stretch, take pain pills when I have to but they are only temporary relief. I'm not due for more injections yet, so I just have to dig in and push through till I get relief.

Sometimes I just want to give up and go on disability or something. But why? I have a lot of living left to do and enjoy work. EEERRRR, till tomorrow,more P/T to come.

" I can't say I get angry ~ I get depressed. But I've had to deal with this for over 20 years too, and loads of procedures, injections, surgeries, etc. Now I'm disabled and would MUCH rather be working!

I hope the injections are helping you! Best of luck! "

" I have back pain and have depression and am mad about it. I wasn't ready for my life to change so. I tried to keep working but it is too painful. I have applied for ssi and that in its self is a maddening issue. I am not enjoying my life because I like you have alot of things I want to do. "
