Hello, I am wondering who else out there is living with very severe pain 24 hrs a day and how you deal with it. My pain has been chronic for so long that I have no memory of ever being without it. Now it is at the severe level due to degeneration and I only know one other person who has any idea what I am talking about. Most people shy away from here because they can't stand the sight of it and I understand that. It isn't in just one part of my body but all my joints and I try meditation to block it out but it's hard to even have a conversation with another person. Any one else out there dealing with the same?
