Do you ever hide what you really feel from people in your life? Like after awhile without words you can just tell.... ppl dont want to hear about your pain ?? After 2 1/2 yrs of dealing with pain after surgery I dont want to talk about it either. I understand its a big turn off to ppl in general. I sometimes ? the sincerity of relationships in my life. I was always known as being fun person and very active ----and this whole thing has changed me. Its like thru it all I lost part of myself. Guess im wondering if anyone ever felt like this after spine surgery? Thanks for letting me vent.
