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...
Hi all,
I saw my pain doc today, and while there he gave me a trigger point injection (in my scapula region...not sure of the exact terminology). I haven't had those done in years, but he thinks it will help with my nerve pain.
I also got a prescription for Lyrica, which I hope will help me (PLEASE!)....I've read people's posts on here about Lyrica and problems they've had. I'm hoping against hope that Lyrica will help me with my pain. My pain doc seems to think it will.
Just checking in and sharing what I've been going through today. I have a bunch of pain going on....and I'm so glad there's a group here of people that understand what it's like to live in constant pain!!!!
I do wish one thing though....that more people responded to individual posts....I posted recently and only one person acknowledged me. I was wondering why?
Gentle hugs to everyone,
Cathy

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
Also, sorry about you not getting many responses. I know sometimes posts get knocked over to another page and get lost in with the games. Don't take it personally. I'm sure it just got lost in with other posts.
Take care,
Jessica
gentle hugs back

Sorry your previous post got overlooked, but good for you for posting again and not taking it personally!
Watch for weight gain and swelling hands and feet.
Best wishes,
