Do u have chronic pain

[kingozzy]

yea I call her my secretary and she is a constant pain in the you know what!  lol

[blondie71]

I'm sorry Blondie71.  That's a lot for someone to have to deal with on a daily basis.  God bless you!  I have headaches about every day; sometimes migraine but mostly I'm not sure what type headaches they are.  I just know they hurt!

thank you, I get migraines as well but only about 5 times a month but I get a presecription for it but if I can catch it when it first starts than if I eat black olives it will go away.  My sister-law told me about that.  I can only catch the once I have at home and awake when they start.

Yes, I do have chronic pain.  I have osteoarthritis in my hips.  I hurt when the weather is cold and damp.

Yes, I do have chronic pain.  I have osteoarthritis in my hips.  I hurt when the weather is cold and damp.

  I also have that according to the dr who does my injections for my chronic pain in my back said the by body was 75% with osteoarthritis, now I am having problems with my feet and my family doctor sent me to have a nerve conduction test (over a week ago) and it hurt so bad I am waiting to hear the results of that. I am not that old I just turned 42 and all this started in 1998 but over the years it gets worse and nothing seems to help.  I wish you the best but i already know that it isnt.

I'm telling you, daily exercise makes a hugeeeee difference!

I have always had to deal with lower back pain. I think it is because of my horrible posture habits. I don't really know why, it's just more comfortable for me to be in a position that makes my back slump over. Aha.

[tammypete]

No.  I have been very blessed as to not have to deal with any chronic pain....as of now...

Those who do not live with chronic pain are indeed blessed.  I was diagnosed with arthritis in my late 20s, which is now rheumatoid arthritis.  Mostly caused by falls, I suffer from sciatica, whiplash, torn rotator cuff, and general back pain.  I have had tendinitis in my wrists and my heels and also heel spurs.  I have fibromyalgia and TMJ. I have sometimes cried from the pain.  I manage with OTC meds, tramadol, diet, and exercise.  I am now also diabetic.  I am now 71 and have never received any disability.  I worked outside the home for 50 years and wish I was still able to work.

When I was 11 I had steel rods put in my back and a spinal fusion due to a severe case of scoliosis.  When I was 15 they had to be replaced due to one being defective.  When I was 17 and my bones set the rods were removed.  Now I have degenerative disc disease and arthritis in every vertebrae that wasn't fused. Nerve damage from surgery in left side of back and difficulty walking.   If I had not had surgery I would have been bent over completely by now and likely dead from my spine piercing lungs or heart.  So I still feel blessed despite daily and relatively severe pain.

So far I've been lucky I don't have chronic pain.  But my mom has lower back pain as she suffers from spinal stenosis.  She would need back surgery but at her age the doctors don't recommend it.  Pain pills gives her some relief but some days even that's not enough.  She also has arthritis and a lot of her family members suffers from arthritis so I'm afraid that is something I will have to contend with in the future also.

Sometimes and I think exercises did help till I get sick a lot this year and been stop doing any!!

[moonangel]

YES! I have chronic pain.  I am an pain all day everyday and cooler months are worst.  I have three lower disc that are bone against bone it was just bulging a couple of years ago, I am also loosing the natural curvature of my spine.  I have Fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, chronic fatigue, I have been suffering with this since 1998 but I didn't quit working until 2008 but I am not on Disability they wont give it to me.  They want me to find a job that will let me stand, sit, walk, and lay down during my shelf but I don't know any place of employment that will allow me to do work with those restrictions.

my wife has that and more.  she is also trying to get her ssd but she finished her wc.   is now appealing kpers.    ssd is stuck on some ones desk waiting another appeal.  Her fibro is so bad her dr can only take the edge off of her pain she had one test done in which the woman said that she was rigid and not trying.  she was cold and fibro cramping she has rls so bad she kicks me out of bed 

[ShadeTree]

Yes, I do. I don't know what causes it either. I'm hoping to find out (preferably soon) because it's been going on for a very long time. It's hard to get through each day but I do it. Some days are much worse than others. I know how bad it is for me, but I feel terrible for those who deal with much worse pain than I do on a daily basis.
