First and foremost I made the decision that chronic pain was not dictate how my life was going to be played out. The most important thing for me was to move, keep moving. Complete a task no matter how small and that gives me satisfaction and confidence to fight through the pain to try to complete even more, with chronic pain you have good days and bad, also some really bad but push on, push though it because being inactive the pain for starts to get way out control. Positive attitude and my family support me and with that support they have been shock with the things I can do.
