Now this is really an interesting concept. I never thought of showing a picture relating to what I am feeling. I did write a list and a little story which was read at the pain clinic, but I really don't think that anyone without a tangible reference to what it is like can fully comprehend it. Feeling pain is way more effective than reading about it and at the pain dr. office I didn't get what I needed-treatment. I got a list of hoops to jump through in order to get future consideration for meds. I can see myself going through the motions and paying out for each visit and receiving a "sorry" we can't give you your requested med. Call me a pessimist but I think I am being a realist when the prescribers are so very hesitant to offer treatments that put them in a spot where the medical association and the government are pressuring them to keep a tight fist on opiates. At 76 yo, being a person like me who doesn't even take an aspirin if I don't have to, I don't think that should be a factor at all. I am not an addictive personality. Never have been hooked on anything.
