Hi Breezy!

We all understand you here and are sympathetic to your pain. Please, just know that you are strong and not weak. I learned a great trick for when the pain is uncontrollable. My P.T. taught me how to breathe. Its called "Chest Hollowing" and you simply lie on your back, inhale from your nose. First, fill up your belly with air, then your lungs, then try to fill up to your collarbones. It's tricky at first, but once I got the hang of it I really got alot of relief. You can hold it for a few seconds, then exhale through your mouth. It's wonderful to focus on breathing, as it calms you down and makes you concentrate on something other than the pain.

You are in my thoughts. I hope things get better for you really soon.
