[VIDEO TRANSCRIPT]
I suffer from complex regional pain syndrome I have done since 2006. Uh, the pain is unbearable. Sometimes it comes and goes in spasms. Um, I was an outdoor person. I was in the Armed Forces Army when this happened. Um, and now it's unbearable. I don't do anything. My mental side. I get depressed because of the pain and the constant pain. Um, and there are many times where I thought I really can't do this anymore and don't want to do this anymore. Um, because I can't do this, do things physically because of the, um, pain and on PTSD from while I was in the forces as well.
