I am fortunate to not have to deal with chronic pain. Prior to open heart surgery in 2013, I went through a few months of symptoms of Angina and it terrified me. After the surgery, I still get occasional muscle cramps through the neck and arm and although it doesn't last I hate it. 24 years ago, I lost part of my heel in a lawn mowing accident and when I walk, it's as if I have a pebble in my shoe. All of those tiny, temporary pains I have struggled with. To have the far more significant pain and discomfort that you have on a regular basis, I can't even imagine young lady. I wish you didn't have to deal with it and I have no idea how you do. I haven't taken many pain meds over my lifetime, but when I have, I know they may dull the pain, but I also know how they made me feel and that too is unbelievably difficult. Even so, in the interactions that I have had or observed with you on here, you have an amazing attitude and your faith is a great witness. Sorry for finding an older post and commenting, but had a few extra minutes this morning and was scrolling.
