Severe Pain and Snafu.

[mucholderthandirt]

34. No judgement from me. I'm in constant pain, it wears you out.

One of my sisters has fibro, probably loads of other things, and she got limited in what she could get, and how much. She suffers every day.

My mother is too old now to get her other knee replaced, but her doctor gets her shots and pretty much all the Tramadol she wants. She's 85, though, and the issues of being addicted aren't that worrisome, apparently.

We need better ways to handle chronic pain without just handing out pills left and right. Not everyone who's hurting is out for the pills. There has to be a better way.
