I have has severe nerve pain for about 8yrs. It happened when I went through a trauma CRASH if you will. Something very traumatic happened as a result of being abused & tortured on top of that for 10 years prior to that time.
After that I was attacked by someone else ( an officer ) and my arm fractured and at that time I was knocked unconscious. So I was refused treatment. Then I had an accidental accident, where I fell and must of fractured my foot. It was told to me I sprained it. I know it was not. I still feel the injured bone in my foot as this happened over 6 mnths ago. I have a slight limp at time, I have a right arm I cannot fully use for all things. I have nerve damage and in pain all the time from that. From bangs, to thumps etc.

I cannot afford to go to all the specialist doctors for all these things. I don't take pain meds. because I do not like the way they make me feel and they make me ill. All I have is my Aleve I take about 5-10 times a week.

I can't imagine living like this continually going on for years. I am completely exhausted all the time from being in pain all the time.

Being in pain 24/7 is exhausting I know. I'm from the UK so I can't advice on how you can get treatment but you need it! I don't like taking pills either but without it I'm seriously awful to get on with. Please see if you can get some help for this.

Hve you tried meds like neurontin or lyrica for nerve pain? Have you tried physical therapy for your other injuries? Pain meds might be your only option. I have a pain patch and do not feel groggy or spacey. Might just be what kind of med you were on..

I never took medication for any of these... not even pain meds. I am not on any other kinds of meds for anything...
I only take an inhaler for asthma and for allergies. ..and I rarely take my allergy medicine unless I really need to.

I cannot afford consistent medical. I can't get insurance because my spouse won't let me have it. (Its a control issue.)
He tells me we can afford it then we can't. I know I can't afford it or at least be consistent with my medical treatments.

Therapy for my arm and bone etc. I was refused medical proper treatment. With my foot and arm it was covered up. So my injuries do not get put on record. Because it could get others and the state in trouble, lawsuit.

Which I have no plans of suing anyone... I just needed medical treatment. So now I am in pain all the time.
People are more worried about themselves and reputation around here than peoples lives and health.

well sorry to be outright but seems like your pushed up against a wall and cannot do anything. what are you looking to get from this post? seems like you can't really do anything to help your current situation. If my spouse wouldnt put me on his medical I would be long gone. He's prolonging your suffering.

Health insurance is a law nowadays. Low cost, or even free health insurance is available. I don't know what to say (but I know what I think) about your spouses stance on this. You need a primary care doctor, everyone does. It's really silly to not get the healthcare that you need. I hope you "grab the bull by the horns" and get yourself taken care of. Good luck.
