A day in the life of a chronic pain sufferer. A journey written for my healing and maybe help for some one else as well.
For about 5 years I have been suffering with muscle and nerve pain off and on, at times very severe and hard to do most normal tasks. The pain has escalated in about the last year. It is difficult to pinpoint a distinct area in my body and makes it difficult to describe, therefore difficult to treat. Doctors often looked at me like I was crazy or a hypochondriac. I had been told several years ago that I had chronic nerve damage in my leg probably from a car accident, but I really think that key diagnosis help to prevent any further investigation of what I was going through. On top of that I was experiencing kidney and bladder infections frequently which made my diagnosis even more difficult. I was usually treated with antibiotics and pain pills and sent on my merry way, only to return some times just weeks later. When you know your body and you know something is not right, but no one has an answer why you suffer that much, it’s torturous.
