My daily pain level is 6 to 8, sometimes approaching a 9. I have tried everything that I know to try. I am going for a morphine pain pump surgery next week. The trial went well, knocking my pain down to 2 or 3. I can live with that. Right now I tell folks who ask me how I'm doing, I tell them, "Just ducky".
