I have real problems with pain from arthritis...sometimes so bad to necessitate cortisone shots in both knees and my right shoulder...and my mental health workers don't seem to take it seriously..they STILL get on my case about keeping things tidy EVEN when I have serious pain and have had shots in my joints...Do they 'push' me because they think I may be exaggerating my pain...or think I'm doing it to 'get out of doing my responsibilities'? I wish they could walk a mile in my shoes(or with arthritis pain for more than one day)! Yes when I am well enough I take care of my place...I don't understand why mental-health workers don't take pain seriously sometimes..am I the only person who deals with this?
