Roommate Taught About Chronic Pain

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had a roommate that I tried several times to explain what nerve pain was and how it effected you
He of course thought I was exaggerating, then one day at work he took a tumble and hurt his arm. Fast forward a few months ends up he did damage and now required surgery. They informed him that they would be working close to nerves and asked if he would like a nerve blocker prior to the surgery. Big strong guy says no, I smile at the doctor and say yes he would. Doctor listens to me not… read more

Is There A Movement To Join To Increase Awareness And Get Laws Passed To Protect The Chronic Pain Patient?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cedar Bluff, AL

Chronic pain patients are being forgotten about and punished with all these new laws and pressure from the government and states regarding opioid use
Chronic pain patients need help to get the medication they need. Drug addicts now use meth, heroin, etc. They no longer use opioids because they are so hard to get. Help is needed. I am so tired of being treated like an addict. I want my life back, I need help. Opioids is all that helps. Why should I and so many others like me continue to… read more

If Simple Exercise Increases The Nerve Pain In My Legs, Hips, Back And Feet, Should I Not Do It And Lose Out On The Benefits Of Exercise?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Los Osos, CA

I have nerve pain in my legs, hips, thighs, back, feet, and hands. It's not clear what the root cause is. My question is: If simple exercise like a 15-20 minute easy walk increases the nerve pain in my legs, hips, back & feet, should I not do it and lose out on the benefits of exercise?

Any thoughts, wisdom is appreciated.
