Chronic pain

[Posey3550]

I have several physical issues that cause me pain daily. These past couple of weeks the pain has gotten so intense and my only relief is laying in bed with my knees propped. The pain is almost unbearable and makes me cry. I am a first time Nana and babysit while my daughter works. The pain is making it impossible for me to do so. Not to mention making me feel useless. It hurts to cook, or do dishes, or clean the house. How do people survive with chronic pain? I need help.

Posey, I am terribly sorry you are suffering from chronic pain. Taking care of your daughter's child is adding to your pain level. That's not an easy task for you to handle.Anyone with Chronic Pain needs to take care #1 first and that is you.

I think that you carrying this extra responsibility right now is just too much for you.

It's nice to be a first time nana. Your health issues shouldn't make you feel useless.

Love yourself first so that you can have some energy left for your grandbaby. xx

I would suggest you book an appointment with your doctor. Pain so severe needs something to ease it.

You cannot help your grandchild if you cannot move easily. Please take care of yourself

Cheers, Midori

My knees always aches really badly either after my ballet classes or just randomly they’ll start aching and sometimes I’ll wake up with really sharp pains in my knees and I won’t be able to move them. I go sent to the physical therapist and all they did was give me a few exercises which didn’t help and I already did most of them during my dance lessons so it didn’t make much difference.
