Dr. Smith gave you some good advice. I'm also wondering if perhaps you AND your husband could speak with your doctor -- are you seeing a pain management doctor?

Maybe if your husband understood chronic pain better, it would help. It's more than just "hurting all the time." If affects all areas of our life -- and your husband obviously doesn't understand that. Maybe if you took him with you to a doctors' appointment, the doc could explain it better.

Best of luck -- I'm sorry you're having to go thru this along with suffering chronic pain. God bless. Hugs, Lee
