I'm finally being referred to a pain clinic north of Boston by my ortho doc. I have one collapsed disc, two more herniated discs, three fused vertebrae in my neck, plantar's fasciitis, plus fibro.
I've been having some intense pain in my ankles and leg spasms at night which the doc think is pain referred from my back.
I hope this will help out a bit.
People who don't have chronic pain wouldn't have any way of understanding what it's like to live with. People seem to expect me to function normally in spite of it and it gets me down.
