Anyone else feel Isolated and not go out due to chronic pain?
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 7 hours ago | Replies (148)Comment receiving replies
I have chronic pain and fully get the feeling. I also have kids at home and wife which make it really easy to withdraw. I’m really lucky to have some long time friends that make sure that I do things and expect that I will have issues but are ready to deal with it. Best thing you can do is to lean into the people that love you and spend time with them even when it’s bad.the ones that love you don’t want you to do it alone. Steve

@lchop
I get it 100%. I have also withdrawn from so many things due to chronic pain. It truly affects the quality of lives. I push myself on my better days, but sometimes pay for it afterwards. It is a kind of mental boost, that I'm able to still do some things on my own. Also, some movement is absolutely necessary. My most difficult thing to deal with is physical limitations on any given day. But, my mantra is "it could always be worse ". Hang in and as I've heard: TACOS acronym for: take absolute care of self. Hope this helps.
Good luck!
