Belinda, I talk about my pain as little as possible, to as few people as possible. Occasionally, though, there are people who don't understand why I do not do everything that I didn't used to, or can't do what they want me to. So it is a little problematical, but I just try to avoid getting myself in a difficult situation. With my family, I try not to discuss my pain, but I will say, "I'm sorry, I'm not able to do that." They never learn, so I just have to refuse a lot, politely. Once I do that, they seem to go along with it.
