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...
I suffer from chronic pain in my lower back and hips. It's very hard to get around but I am not crippled. In a few weeks my wife and I will go away on vacation. She works very hard and deserves it. But all she wants to do is sit around the pool and chill. I do that at home, nothing. I'd like to do a few things because I'm stuck in my house most of the time. So now we are in the middle of this discussion. Maybe a bit of each. The days are long enough to do a little something in the morning then chill by the pool. I like the pool too. It helps me move around better. Trying now to come up with a compromise.
Perhaps too find some activities that you can do by yourself and give her some completely alone time...especially early on in the week. Maybe the first day there you can get up early, go out, people watch, let her sleep in and bring her coffee or some sort of snack?
