Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
OK here it is. A challenge and a chance to get outside the box. Let's see if we can get this thread over 100 posts!!!!!!
If you need a hug....say it.
If you are here......say it.
If you are just watching........say it.
If you need to talk or have a question.........do it.
If you feel bad, good, sad, mad, blessed, happy,etc......I think you got it.
I'll start.

I've been having a lot of pain recently and also now with a cold so it's been tough. But I really enjoy the company here, It always makes my day brighter when I connect with you all!
Hugs and wishes for low pain days ahead to all!

I've done on haircut so far....one too many according to my neck and shredded rotator cuff. This is really making my life less than enjoyable.
Oops...gotta run. My color client has arrived.
Hugs,
Cherry
Havent checked in for a bit so I thought I would drop by. Feet doing ok since the shots the problem is since the feet are working I am doing more and hence the back and nerve pain is bothering me never can win, you know how it is.
It is a day of crafts as I have to finish a scrapbook for my SIL birthday so it is a fun day for me. Hopefully someone from this house will clean the kitchen but I am not holding my breath for that one.
Hope all is well
So nice seeing the posting back and what you are all up to. The good and unfortunately the bad.
I can't beleive it. My appointment is tomorrow. My day job is crazy so I have the computer at home and I have to dedicate this afternoon and tomorrow morning with that mess, but it will help the time pass and I won't think about it.
I keep crying everytime I think about the appt as it feels like my last hope and I tried to ask my 22 year old son to go with me but it didn't go well. (I backed down because I didn't want to burden him with my truth) Then my hubby Jim got laid off on Friday and said he would go with me on Monday. I told him it would take 2 hours and he said that was no big deal. He didn't even know how emotional I was about this (or did he?!) I'm usually so independant. I guess with all your prayers of support, the God/universe provides what I need to get me there.
Logic says something has to change with effort, but doubt says life has no guarantees and this fellow is still a wildcard and I don't know where I stand in my race in life. I don't know that I can take much more head pain on such a daily basis.
Anyways, thank you guys for getting me here and all of your support. I was lost when I found you and you have been pivitol in getting me here. I will post again after the appointment and I'm optomistic that it will be good news.

Angela........I will keep you in my prayers. I really hope that you can find some help from the doctor. I know it's a major thing and I wish you nothing but the best.
It is nice to see my friends here and welcome to those who are new. This is a great group of caring, genuine people.
I am doing OK. My life has changed since I've gone back to work. I am doing physical work with restrictions. Although I'm considered a supervisor I still get right in there and work with the guys. I am enjoying it. The company I work for has been very understanding.
Let's try and keep this going and lean on each other, because that's what it's all about.
My DS account is still messed up. I am hoping they get it straight soon.
Big Hugs,
David.
HI. All
I had a great weekend, we had a early Thanksgiving with part of the family. Then about 19 musicans got together and we raised the roof with Praise songs at a big coffee shop. Then after church, We got to see our grandbabies, we haven't seen in 3 years. I did to much but it was so worth it. I even took one of the youger kidos on a race car, race. I shouldn't have done it. But the memories are so worth it. I slept only 3 hours last night due to pain. I have to clean some today and rest,
I wish everyone a wonderful day!
Rhonda

Rhonda - aren't grandkids heaven sent! makes my heart burst when I see my guy. ENJOY

Ama - hope the sun is shining there and the blues have gone away. Play some crazy tunes on that ivory.
David - Blow some kisses on Rocco's tummy for me.
Vicky - You deserve a patch and a half tonight
Thanks for sharing my day everyone. Hugs to you all.
Angela
Angela tell us how the appt went, I think sometimes our hubby's just know when to be there. I am independent to but it is nice sometimes just for them to be there.
I got my appt for my foot surgery on Dec 1st and I am glad it will be over and done with soon he is doing the left first as he said it is the worse of the two. That is the side with the nerve damage and I wonder if that has anything to do with it and I am hoping that it will help the nerve damage, I guess I can hope even tho it seems nothing ever goes my way.
Then I will be on my mini vacation from my household duties so just be prepared for my venting post LOL
My niece sort of made me mad last night as it was her birthday meal and I make the kids anything they want and she wanted Mash potatoes, home made mac and cheese, brown sugar glaze ham and corn and Hot buttered rolls and it took me almost two hours to make do you think I got a thank you, NO I did not.
KIDS, they think and take us for granite all the time.
Hope all is well
I hope everyone is as well as can be expected.
Angela- I am so glad you have some hope! hope is a great thing.
I think I really did something to my back again, gettingi into that race car and getting hit 3 times. granddaugther loved it. but I have new knife stabbing pain. The boys are the ones that hit us. Oh well, I have pain doc appt next week. so we shall see whats going on. I don' t think I will ever get another RFA ever. They are just torture, at least for me.
Manny- I would go crazy, vent away!
Blessings to All Rhonda
I see my PM doc tomorrow and I get my SCS tweaked. I can't wait to talk to him about the great results I'm getting from the implant.
I hope ya'll are doing OK. My account is still messed up, but I did get a message from DS about it............it still doesn't work, but they said wait until tomorrow.
Wishing you all the very best !!!
David.
