So sorry to hear of your pain, Kelsey. I can identify with your comment: "the person I was just three months ago no longer exists." I feel that way also, though seven months have passed. A day at a time, I guess. Some long time sufferers have said that the pain can lessen in time. Maybe they simply get used to it. I have found websites dealing with chronic pain science helpful. An app that is helping me is curable. Hang in there. Hope the docs and meds can help you.
