I am all in with pain management! I apparently was one of the lucky few that found a awsome Doctor to start with.
Good news is you don't need a great Doctor in order to get started, if you can find one great!
Everything starts in the mind, for me chronic pain can lead to depression and anxiety. So he sent me to a psychologist from there I went to a place that taught meditation. Of course while doing these other things he was working on the chemical side of things. I also was sent to PT who them sent me to learn yoga lol after 20 years I am still a beginner.
When I moved I did not wait to see if my new pain management Doc had all this set up I started setting it up on my own.
My point is while I may have days I don't want to get out of bed and deal with my pain I do have all the tools to do so after a long road of trial and error. So please don't get down or give up.

What a great description of "being your own best advocate" which we often suggest to people here.
When you say "My point is while I may have days I don't want to get out of bed and deal with my pain I do have all the tools to do so after a long road of trial and error" it resonates with all of us who live with a chronic condition. You are a hero to me!

@budo7 You should teach a class! The key here is not wanting to get out of bed, but doing it anyway.
Thank you for such a valuable post. Keep up the good work. 💪🏼
