I'm Rita and have had chronic low back pain since the 70s. It was reinjured in 1995 plus have severe shoulder pain and various areas of arthritis etc etc!! Treating with a different pain clinic following move to MN. Difficult with new docs and other medical issues, adjusting to living alone after becoming a widow and not getting the support from my family who were to help with my move. Look forward to learning from others with chronic pain. Sharing our pain is good.

Hello Rita @ritarose, thank you for joining Connect, and reaching out to share and seek support. I'm happy to hear you are working with a pain clinic. It sounds as though you've had some challenges lately but are prevailing. You will most likely hear from others who are from MN, not me though, I'm a New Yorker. We do share the same unruly weather however. 😜

Rita, do you mind sharing some of the techniques you presently use for managing pain? What hobbies do you have that bring joy?
