How Many Deal With Sharp Pains With A Diagnosis Of Central Sensitization And Nerve Damage?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Merritt, BC

I don't need the debate again about the diagnosis of Central Sensitization being fake or bologna. How many deal with nerve damage, Central Sensitization and degenerative disc disease and have sharp jabbing pains in the shoulder blades or throughout your back in the areas of the nerve damage and degenerative discs?

How Are Y’all Coping?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Dryden, MI

My chronic pain is relatively new and it has disrupted my life a great deal. It’s ruined relationships and it’s taken great effect on my emotional and mental wellbeing. How are you guys getting through it? No one in my family seems to understand especially since I’m only 19. I feel so alone and just don’t know what to do

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

Welcome to this group...... so sorry to hear about what you are going through..... this group is really great and understanding.....

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Huntsville, AL

I hate getting up at 5 from pain or coughing or something, but I hate it less than trying to get back up at 8/9 AM to "start" the day and keep from taking a nap. Don't we need naps? We can't sleep well because we are in pain. Why can't we get a job that has irregular hours instead of trying for fewer hours?
