How to deal with constant pain for years

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?

I have congenital spinal stenosis in my cervical and lumbar spine plus believe ai have autoimmune inflammation that may have started with breast implants (breast implant illness due to silicone liners) and also may have been triggered by pregnancy at 39. Things started when I had pain in my lower back, hip and buttock and an orthopedic doctors said my spine looked like someone 20-25 years older than I was (when I was 42). I have tried to get answers from many doctors and it has been an expensive and depressing process. It feels like you go in circles and get nowhere and wast so much time/$$ while your quality of life goes downhill. I had to get my implants removed myself because my insurance company would not cover the cost of explant but I was desperate to get to the bottom of my systemic inflammation. I have gained 75 pounds in 11 years which makes pain, ability to exercise and energy levels worse. I feel like I am in a hamster wheel going nowhere when I want desperately to recover some quality of life.
