🔆 MY STORY OF CHRONIC PAIN 🔆
.
🔹 Chronic pain is devastating. It took my life from me. It drove me deep into drug and alcohol addiction and I almost ended up dead several times.
.
🔹 I was trying to escape the clutches of pain, and drugs and alcohol were the only way I knew how to kill the pain.
.
🔹I found a better way. Movement, healthy food, good sleep, meditation, friends and family, nature… These are all medicine.

Just hearing him say that it is a Mind Body connection I just burst into tears because no one understands unless you are in the storm. I hate when they ask me your pain level 1 through 10 it doesn't matter what you say, you are in pain. My 6 is not your 6 okay. I have endured Chronic pain for over 7 years. Still no relief. You really almost lose your mind. Hiding your tears from your family because you don't want them to know how much pain you are in. It is hard. I pray I get some help. For everyone who is in pain, I pray you get some relief.

It really is true. I had chronic pain for over a year in my neck and back. Improving my outlook on the pain and addressing my depression from having the pain did amazing things. More than stretching more than physical therapy. Your mental outlook is crucial for getting through it

Im only 21 and I have been living with severe chronic pain for the last four and a half years. College has been very hard. Suicidal ideation is constantly on my mind as well as clinical depression and anxiety. Doctors have misdiagnosed me over three times and still aren’t able to treat me. Believe me I’ve tried so so so many things. It hurts to use my arm at all. It started in the brachial plexus area but then spread down to my hand, neck and now (started this year) back too. Like you said, I have zero friends and no longer live in home with my family. I try to be grateful for what I do have, which I recognize, but I also feel guilty to admit I’m suffering because I’m blessed in many other ways, if that makes sense. I am missing out in so many college things, and opportunities which I am grieving in a way. (In addition to grieving my life before this started). Anyways that’s my venting that no one asked for . Glad your pain is better!

I had a really bad neck injury and the pain has been consistent for more than 5 years. I'm not sure what happened the 15th of this month but the constant pressure/pain I would feel behind my neck is now gone completely. I honestly never thought it would heal and this brought me into a deeper depression thinking I have to live with this pain and restrictions everyday for the rest of my life. I was even contemplating getting spinal injections that a doctor recommended but I'm so glad I held off. Now that it feels like normal again I could not be happier.. it feels like I got my life back. I am an athlete so being active is important to me.

Im so glad you made it through man! Ive been dealing with chronic pain & multiple other health problems since i was 17. Im almost 30 & the pain has just gotten way worse over the years & spread to different areas! Its hell. The meds end up being the only thing that lowers the pain but then you soon develop a tolerance... You need more n more till you cant get enough to work at all & take them cause you have to not withdrawal in my case i withdraw even when taking my meds just not fully but enough to make life even more of a living hell. 14 years later i just can't believe that all these years have gone by just suffering & isolated from everyone i don't know how ive even made it this far but im still here.. at least that counts for something ive done my best, tried my hardest but it just always gets worse.

Thanks its nice to see that some ppl make it out of this hell. I hope my time comes soon.

I understand. Ive spend 207 days in the hospital in the last year and a half due to intractable pain. I have a bone disease. Both hips replaced last year several spinal surgeries over the last 4 years. A new revision surgery is my path of hope right now. A great day is when im in 7 out of 10 on the scale. It has brougjt out things in my body and psyche like massive anxiety, really scary claustrophobia as well. I cant even lay for an MRI without general anesthesia. I dont drink or do drugs and on the path where my body is my temple. I have no idea what my family history because im adopted so i take ot one diagnoses at a time.
I ALSO WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU AND HOPE THAT GOD KEEPS TOU ON THE PATH YOU'RE ON. YOU SEEM TO HAVE A STRONG CONSTITUTION NOW AND I ADMIRE THAT GREATLY. GOD BLESS. BTW, I LOVE YOUR VOICE.

Everyone should contribute their bit when it comes to telling the world about the mind-body connection. We need to break the taboo surrounding that, and be smart about how we do it. Thanks for doing your part. Doing my best over here in Montreal too!

What you say is real. I was born with a horrendously painful disease. I managed to work 33 years before it took me down. The last ten years I was on the same low dose of pain meds. I took myself off them knowing the stress the pain caused me in my body would make my disease worse. As a female I do have a high tolerance to pain, had twins naturally with back labor, so I know how much pain I can take. How I achieve the very painful days? I have to basically sit in the lap of Jesus and go to another place in my mind. It doesn’t take all the pain away, but it brings it down to a level I can deal with. Just so you know, people with my disease at the stage I am in are on morphine and usually sleep all the time.

Currently on disability with CP. It's not a life sentence but it is an endurance test.
The mind body connection is imperative in self healing.

[seans.]

it’s nice and sad at the same time to hear other people’s stories in the comments. i’m 22 and i’ve been dealing with chronic pain, chronic ITCHING since i was 12, and it has gradually gotten worse. i never sleep. i’ve dropped out of school and quit work. doctors could never figure it out but recently i’ve been going to a doctor from a different country (so not usa) and it seems very promising. just wanted to share.

[allgunsblazed]

I'm a 21yr old sous chef and have chronic neck and shoulder pain, I definitely feel the substance abuse not much helps me and friends just don't understand...

[Tinyteacher]

It’s Godawful. Are you any better now? Before I found out what the root cause was, and is, and I got a great pain medication doctor who believes me, I’m able to do a few things, but everyone left me, and I was a teacher and took a leave of absence, but decided I couldn’t go back!
I’m alone st 68, disabled, and now people are starting to believe my current status. Not fun! I’m in barely survival mode.
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS UP TO RAISE AWARENESS OF INVISIBLE DISABILITY AND PAIN!!!!

[MissTFromToronto]

I can relate to your video, people have no idea 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’ve been suffering with chronic pain for almost 9 years and I can’t take it anymore. I want to learn to become a yoga and meditation teacher🧘🏽‍♀️

[journeytochannel]

A few knee surgeries and other physical Issues/ Mental Health Issues once I got out of Marine Corps made me spiral Completely outta Control.. my Marriage ended, my Family Ostracized me, found Drugs and Women to get my mind off of my Pain, and Issues. I couldn’t Manage my Medication the VA Gave me at the time.. I was a Big mess.
I started to Meditate, and Seek all Medical Help for myself and now I’m doing better, I still have Pain, but I learned to Eat correctly, manage my physical health better, I treat myself better overall. It might not be the Quickest Fix I’ve experienced, but it’s the Right Fix for me to stay on. My Back is Thrown out once or Twice yearly and it’s Debilitating for my Work, and life. But stretching has been the overall Key in Helping me Get through it all. Sorry for the Rant.

[killpicklevodka]

That’s awesome brother! I’m proud of you

[theadventurekidz-scienceho]

I love your story. My pain is not from that. It’s from chronic Illness. That is tough to manage

[XSD..]

For me too😢 5 decades of chronic pain and now old age poverty

[nerdynaomi]

I had undiagnosed chronic pain for over a year before learning about this. It's crazy how many doctors will tell you it's all in your head or you have some life-threatening disease.

[momsmushroomsjodyfoster]

I know that fear all too well!! Fear of committing because I don’t know how I will feel day to day! It’s such a downer and for me. It’s important to remember where my value comes from! I’m valued and deeply loved by God even in my worst condition! His love doesn’t depend on my ability!
