chronic pain

I’ve been suffering from longtime, unrelenting chronic pain for more than 30 years. The pain levels have become intolerable. No intervention or painkillers work. I have had major shoulder surgery two months ago which wasn’t a success. I now face having a total shoulder replacement. The pain is excruciating.

I'm so sorry to hear your story.It is truly disheartening to go through life in such agony.

I'm sure you have been to every clinic and doctor who will listen to your story.

I have no words or solution for you ,only admiration that you have got so far in all this time.

I can only wish you all the best in however you choose to go on.

I hope you can get some relief somehow.

My heart is with you and I hold you close in my mind.

💚

Ate you under a pain management team? They might be offer some nerve blocks and things like that to help in the interim as pain consultants have a much wider sphere of treatments than just the standard doctor xx

please look into prednisolone a steroid which block pain from the brain, but only 5mg.it takes every bit of pain out the body. Even if it's short term it will give you some relief. Google it.
