How to deal with constant pain for years

I so feel everything you said and you are not alone! Some days I want to scream out loud “I am not Okay!” because it is hard for people to empathize with pain if they are not experiencing it because it is invisible to them. I also focus on the small, simple things since I am very limited. I am 54 and a single parent of a 14 year old son. He gives me a purpose to push myself through the pain. I lost my job and unable to work now. Hard to afford health insurance and not sure if I will get approved for disability. I am just taking one day at a time and asking God to give me His strength because I am hanging on by a thread most days.

So very sorry that this has happened to you at such a relatively young age. Keep searching, become your own, best advocate, Don't let anyone, especially doctors, tell you, "Just learn to deal with it". No! For every effect there is a cause. YOU know the effect...pain. Now, keep searching for someone who can be willing to put in the time and effort to lacate the cause, and then treat it, even if it is a bandaid that masks the pain. Do you know what brought about your presnt condition?
