About Me
I'm a worker that was injured in July 2003. Have seen numerous doctors, still in treatment, fighting WCB, went broke with lawyers and lost it all. I still hope there is something for pain. Still trying to find answers after I have lost my spouse, my son, my home, my career. I'm in a new job in the city - use to live in the country, have benefits which really helps, and just trying to deal with the chronic pain and being alone. The worse part is people telling you "you do not look like you are pain!" Every single day I fight - the meds help. Too bad I can not take them at work - they put me to sleep. How does a person deal with all this pain? I get so sick and tired of it all! I would like to make friends with people that understand what it is like to have daily pain. Would be nice to have someone to talk to

Close Chronic Pain
Would be nice if doctors were all on the same page. NOT. Really funny that after 5 years a doctor discovers a fracture... hmmm. Reason for the pain all these years! But no one will reread the x-rays - the fear I believe is a malpractice suit. Go figure!
Treatments
- Acupressure Somewhat Helpful
- When I tried it.
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- Worked then I went downhill and quit that treatment. Too sore!
- Flexeril Working / Worked
- Good drugs... take them if I absolutely need to sleep. So ... a 60 pill prescription has lasted me 5-7 months. Not good for you these drugs. Get stupid .. can not think the next day or stay awake.
- Heat Working / Worked
- Works for certain pain for me.
- Meditation Considering
- Could help with stress which will reduce pain.
- Morphine Not Working
- Allergic to it!
- Naproxen Not Working
- Stomach hates it!
- Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Lasted for 2 years ... then no more of that. Wasn't progressing.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Every day to help move.
Close Accidents
Worker that was injured and the system failed. Not sure why we pay into Worker's Compensation when it does not help you... really frustrating and maddening to fight for something that should just be there for you. I guess it was my fault I hurt myself at work! My co-workers thought I was faking it! My family thought I would get better... how much can a person take!
Treatments
- Physical Therapy Not Working
- Physio, Massage, Accu Puncture, Chiropractor, Exercise Programs, Muscular Skeletal Specialist, Rehab - Trigger Point Needling
Open Back Pain
My back pain due to a work related accident has destroyed my life as I knew it! I do not know how people find the strength to continue? I am still here - injury is going on 5 years now... but some days... I really rather not deal with it!
Treatments
- Acupressure Not Working
- Didn't help
- Acupuncture Not Working
- Useless for me.
- Bedrest Not Working
- More pain - so I do not stay in bed - then I am exhausted all the time.
- Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
- Has it's moments... at least I can move my kneck after those treatments which are still weekly.
- Cortisone (Injection) Somewhat Helpful
- Was able to sleep on my right side for a while - but I have been waiting over a year to get back in. That will be tomorrow.
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- Do that everyday to start moving. Once I can sit in my chair with the pad in it.
- Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
- Tylenol - had to take these yesterday. Sat at a table on my break - couldn't not get back up. A co-worker helped me. Went to my desk and started taking Tylenol for the rest of my shift.
- Physical Therapy Not Working
- Was in Physio for over year - just didn't get better. Massage therapy for over 2 years - didn't do much either.
- Stretching Somewhat Helpful
- Have to stretch everyday or I can not get to work.
