I have tried everything legal for pain relief. I probably would have tried marijuana by now if it was legal where I live. Acupuncturists, alternative medical doctors, massagists, mental therapists, chiropractic, active release technology treatments and medical doctors specializing in every problem I have from my head to the tips of my toes. I've been to local doctors and specialists and those at the Mayo Clinic as well. I've tried diets of every kind, yoga, biofeedback, medications, heating pads, ice packs, electric blankets, hot tubs, bidets, supplements and so on. I'm even in a chronic pain support group.
I achieve temporary relief but am never completely pain free. I've got other pain causing health problems but my abdomen has been in pain of some sorts for over 2 decades. Due to my state of health I've gone from a rewarding career to part-time to not being able to work at all during this time.
I'm not asking any of you for potential solutions like diets, vitamins/supplements, prescription medications, different doctors or for any other solutions. I'd just get offended because I think I have literally tried everything that you could possibly suggest and been tested for a billion things too. I'm asking if there are others here who suffer from chronic pain too? That's all, just a misery loves company sort of thing. I've been having a very difficult 2015.
Pity pain party out.....
