Chronic Pain Group Community Group
This group is for people with chronic pain conditions such as back pain,fibromyalgia,CFS,etc.
I've been battling back problems for about 4 years now. I'm at my wits end as how to deal with it. I honestly wasn't given any kind of coping skills, all I was given were prescriptions for drugs that were so hardcore all I did was sleep. I've had 3 back surgeries. The first one, to correct a herniated disc. The second one to fix what that was screwed up which had cause the disc to collapse, also causing the one above it to fail. And the third was a hardware removal last January.
The pain seems to get worse and worse, and some days, it rules my life. I honestly have no idea how to block it out and live a normal life anymore. It's been 4 years of me being in bed, because if I get up and do anything, I pay for it so hard the next day that it's ridiculous.
Anyone have any advice for the new kid in the group? Anything and everything would be welcomed. I just don't know what to do anymore.
Love,
Sarah
