I think I need to change PCP regardless, that's probably where I will start. I will give it another week at least. I know the beginning is the hardest but if I saw even a hint of something this program has vs standard PT/OT I might feel differently. I don't believe "pain management" should put you in MORE pain...and then tell you to "visualize yourself without pain" as the solution.

Thank you I have a word for each of my children and myself (Me: Believe; Son #1: Faith; Son #2: Love; Son #3: Hope; Daughter #1: Strength; Daughter #2: Peace). They are based on the core soul of everyone. I wanted a way to mention them all in one statement...therefore: "Believe in the Strength of Faith and Hope, within there is Peace and Love". I added "always" in honor of my angel son.

Wow! That is such a wonderful line. It brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing that with us.

I'm with Purple Foot, that IS a beautiful line. I don't know if I knew the whole story on that. Thank you for sharing it.


I'm sorry you have had such a terrible and stressful week. There is nothing I can say to make that better but know that you are cared for and thought of. I'm sure the stress has made your pain worse. Doing a marathon every time you go to your "pain" program doesn't help either. It sounds like the cost to you of doing the program may be too high and your efforts better spent on exercises closer to home.

Give yourself credit for making a valiant effort if you decide to do something else. I support you no matter what. Have a better week and take care of you.

Sending loads of hugs,
