I need someone that will listen and take it at face value but understand that the problem is real.

Anyways, here is the deal... Each morning I wake up in pain, and each night go to bed in pain. I feel like crap every day and it never goes away - it just subsides a little bit sometimes during the day as my mind gets dragged to other activities. I know what you're thinking, "see a doctor". Well, that has been done many many times and I have so many areas that are screwed up I don't know even what doctor to go see now. As you can imagine this truly sucks, beyond belief. I'd say I would bet anything the pharmaceutical meds I was taking and still am have #$%^ed me over. It's almost like time is spinning me out of control. No, I'm not on drugs (illegal ones anyways). One of the problems I come across though when trying to address the issue of thinking that a pharma med messed/is messing me up is that prior to being on meds I was hospitalized from smoking laced marijuana. So basically, I don't believe people are going to buy the fact that the pharma's messed me up 'cause they will think I got messed up from the laced marijuana (which could be possible). This makes it hard to try and argue for anything or understand what's going on. Anyways, I seriously need to get my **** sorted out. It will be 7 years that I have been dealing with pains in Feb of 2016. I understand that everyone has their own RL problems, struggles, issues to deal with. I feel like I need to get some advice from the active AC community on this one as it is one of the few things that still keeps me going each day. But so yeah, like do I see a therapist, try something like a naturopathic doctor, etc. That's what I want to know.
What kind of pains? The first thing I would try to do is try to understand what is the true underlying problem. You might find this helpful:
