I really feel for everyone on here who is experiencing chronic pain and associated issues. I have had chronic pain for more than ten years as a result of an injury that left me with nerve damage. Like others have mentioned here, I have also found that many people just don't understand the physical and emotional toll of this.

I wish I could offer some useful advice to everyone who is suffering but I have yet to find anything that really makes a meaningful difference to the pain and the depression that results from it. But I wish for hugs for everyone
