Wow, a new mattress; that was the “plan of care”? Cringe.

I feel like we chronic pain warriors could write a book (or maybe create a discussion here) of all the crazy things people (including medical professionals) have recommended for pain. So far, my two most ridiculous things from professionals have been: “Try not to think about it.” And: “Maybe a foot massage and pedicure would help.” Those were both recommendations from neurologist at one of the “top 10 ranked programs in neurology” in the nation as they like to say, in reference to my small fiber neuropathy.
