How Do You Deal with Pain?

I find that the only way to deal with REAL pain is to endure it until it goes away I have just been released from hospital after 6 months of spinal pain I have been prescribed all of the major pain killers including 4 hourly Morphine and 2 injections into the spinal column but on leaving hospital my discharge sheet read take Paracetamol 6 hourly so in short they cannot give pain releif and rely on powerfull Opioids

to send you brain to sleep in the hope that you can no longer feel the pain this then causes further problems such as drug dependency. I feel so sorry for you if you are in constant pain as there is no

cure for pain I have been there for 10-15 years with operations, dangerous injections and medication that would knock a horse over but I still have the same old pain.

The pain clinic is a very different place since Covid my last good injection was Oct 2019 which worked a treat ,early 2020 a driver crossed the curb & I had to get out of the way fast & it put me back in pain above the dreaded pain 7.5 level

With massive staff changes retirement, so in 2022 they changed my treatment even though I’d had 8 successful injections the new trial worked for 3 days then the full one worked amazingly for 3 wks then wore off

They have now said I cant have my original one as it’s too expensive

I’m 55 with chronic pain & should expect this pain then she discharged me after 17 years what an absolute

joke good sense of humour is needed,I do Yin Yoga,take pain meds ,use heated cushions. Hot water bottles I rest & say No to things . I now walk with a stick good luck

My sister has an ongoing pain issue, something to do with not swallowing properly and more. She’s tried many medications and not much do anything for her. She is now on some form of cancer tablets (she hasn’t been diagnosed cancer or diagnosed at all). A friend with cancer suggested it but since passed away unfortunately. She says these just take the edge off and can manage it for a while. Still endless testing for all sorts though.

I'm in permanent pain. So much so that I can't tell if it's there or not unless it's horrendous I've been like this fir decades. Apparently it's just my weight. I know it's not as even when I was slim I had the same problem. My weight isn't helping I know that I'm not nieve I've given up asking for help

I have bulging discs which trapped nerves and left me with ireversable nerve damage, so I'm in constant pain in my hips and feet, I had a nerve block injection 3 weeks ago, it hasn't worked , nothing works

Kick them out of the house joking hope you get something asap

I'm not a great pill taker, when l need a tooth filling l refuse the local anaesthetic and just ask the dentist to drill and fill as quickly as possible, l caused the hole/decay or issue so l should have to put up with the pain/discomfort of the treatment (I'm not a sadistic, it's just me), if l have a migraine/headache l will go for a walk, yes it may not always stop the pain but l cannot abide medication. I'm lucky that l cannot remember the last time l was poorly or took medication.
