Hello @chronicpaincanada. I'm sorry to learn about the loss your chronic conditions have caused. I understand you are frustrated and disappointed, and I empathize.

After 20 years and only being age 42, I encourage you to reassess your circumstances. Do you think doctors have been incompetent? Do you think there may be a magic fix, cure or medication that can help you? Its confusing and draining when all we chronic pain sufferers want is to be better.

Based on my experience with chronic pain throughout my body, doctors having no answers, and taking opiates, I strongly encourage you to take a look at this video from Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sletten on Central Sensitization Syndrome. It may bring a new perspective. Here it is:


Do you mind getting back to me with your thoughts on this video?

Also, @loribmt posted a link to Mayo Clinic for you to apply. Have you yet? If not, do you plan to?

Hi

I've been through similar with all my treating doctors and this is
definitely something that lead me down the path of physical therapy and
specialized workouts and meditation that didn't work.

147 medications and 14 treatment facilities offering physical treatment
and psychological intervention that all failed and that put me into a
deeper pain level and sleepless nights. Over 20yrs of hearing all these so
called treatments and people saying just go for a walk or swim LOL
hilarious, I move a leg or arm and I can't walk or talk.

Most informative video I have ever heard. I wish I lived in Fl so I could partake of this brilliance. Dr Sletten gets it. He makes me feel there is hope for me after all. I am going to ask my PT to watch this video. Thank you so much for sharing.
