I think showing personal experience as well as the plus of early care, and the intensity of chronic pain is helpful. Offering insight into ways of mentally and physically dealing with chronic pain may be key to maintain at least activities that may keep the mind and body from sinking into hopelessness.

Hopefully Haywired having read both of your posts will have at least a prospective and a starting point as was stated knowing he/she tried to learn what if any alternatives may be out there. Having insight into ones that worked or those that were not helpful will also be informative.
