I totally understand. I have horrible pain from a neck injury and surgery that didn't help, it made it worse. I have a plate and 4 screws in my neck.I also have chronic pancreatitis and get a block every 3 months and biopsies for barrett's esophagus. My esophagus is really tight and they have to use dialaters just to do the egd and ultrasound for the injections. I live on a feeding tube into my small intestine and a pump feeds me. I have gastroparesis with chronic nausea. I also now have 2 types of neuropathy. My blood pressure tank's when I stand up and I Pass out. The majority started when I was 49. I feel your pain. I am disabled because I have to be on the feeding pump for 16-18 hours a day. I can't drive with the blood pressure issues from my one neuropathy and my failed neck surgery has me in chronic pain. I also can't be up for more than 10 minutes without having to sit down. I wish someone had answers and something that can help me. My life is so stagnant and I was a very active person and loved my job. I feel like my doctors have just given up on me. I can't get answers or relief and I spent most of my days sitting on my bed. I hope someone out there can steer us both into the right direction 🙏 God Bless you 🙏
