The reason other people don't empathize with you is because pain is invisible. I'm sorry you are going thru feeling like no one understands you.
If we had an injury that they can see then they would know your in pain.

Sorry no one responded before now, sometimes that happens to me.

But feel free to vent here, get advise and know that there are people here that have gone thru what you have.

Hope your having less pain each day.
