a few days ago my social worker came to pick me up.well i ended falling down some stairs.she obviuosly was not aware of what was going on.she kept honking her damn horn.while i lay on the ground in pain.2 people where i live saw part of my fall.i asked them to tell my social worker to stop honking at me at me and come see that i'm hurt.she comes over and tells me well i can't wait for you any longer.every time this women comes to pick me up.she rushes me.do's not give me any tine to walk down the stairs.the 2 people in my building where i live commented on her after she left.one person said i don't know who that rude lady was.but she must have been blind not see that fall.i ended up going in an ambulance.i could not get up even with 2 peoples help.i have had pain issues off and on for over 5 years now.when i fell i landed on my bad side of my body.the side i have had issues with for years now.i have not worked in 5 years because of pain issues and chrons.there are a few folks in my life that make comments that i should be working.but when i worked they bashed the kind of jobs i have.they think people who work fast food or retail are just lazy etc.i can't work the jobs i had before.because most jobs i have had in the past i was on my feet all day.well i can't stand up for hours at a time like that.plus i can't take a desk job because i can't sit around all day.sitting to long and standing up hurts to much.i just wish people who have no idea what they are talking about would just stfu.i never ask my family for help.i have no car.so i use public transportation.i could use a ride now and then.but i'd rather take the bus then hear my family make rude comments about my life.i hate having pain issues.i hate my family.they judge everyone.at times i want to get back at them for how they treat me.they act like they are perfect.well they are far from it.

... I feel your pain (inside and out)

Hi there, I'm sorry about your fall and that so called social worker of yours sounds like she needs to be in another line of work. As far as your family, it seems like all of us with chronic pain have some family members like that. Please try not to let them get to you. I know that's a hard thing to do but just don't give them the satisfaction. I hope you are feeling better.

sorry that you had to go thru that and go thru it with a horrible person making it worse, can you find another case worker, someone with more caring? at least your neighbors were there to help you. i hope that you will not be in too much pain tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your painful fall and the social worker's inappropriate, non caring response. I would be asking for a new social worker, it is obvious she has no care for you and I wouldn't want her involved in my treatment. I don't know if thats harder said than done, but i hope you heal and aren't in pain for too long from your fall
