The only advice which I can offer which is what has "helped" me. I have suffered with Rsd for 40 years and now pretty severe back pain for about3 years. Pain is awful(no matter its cause or place.The day-in day-out nature of it is very saddening. Keep going; do not talk too much about it except to your Dr or very close friend and even then do not allow yourself to focus on it. Make sure you have a life; there is no such word as can't. Keep going; be sure your heart is at peace with the Lord; Pray; Read scripture; Make yourself sing(it lifts your heart) and the heart must be lifted.Gaze at the stars, the flowers, whatever. The mind must be lifted. My prayers are with you all:lift up your heart!
