Hi, my name is badbackbed. I'm here because I've suffered with chronic back pain since 1993, have had 4 discectomies and 2 spinal fusions and endless cortisone injections and epidurals injections. Just interested to see if there are others in here who also suffer with back pain.

This is a very hard lesson, I know. But so often, our thoughts rule us and make our mental health worse. Learning how to let go negative emotions is SO hard but SO worth it.
One simply way to start would be to "catch" or write down all of your negative thoughts for 24 hours. See where the patterns are, and which thoughts cause the most emotional pain.
Than you can try to stop them when you're thinking them and re frame it.
Let us know if you're willing to try this- or if it's something you've been working on!

Oftentimes, we vent because we think it'll make us feel better. But have you ever stopped to notice how you actually feel after the vent session is over?
Now, this does not mean you shouldn't vent or share problems with a trusted person who can help you problem solve or listen. I just wanted to share a helpful tip I learned in therapy. Since I stopped "venting" as much, my emotional reactions are better and I'm not as upset as often. I hope it helps you today. 🙂

Hi, my name is Mattp77. I'm here because I've spent the last few years living with chronic back pain after an injury, and I know how isolating it can feel when nothing seems to help.
I went through the full cycle — prescription pills, countless creams, cortisone injections. Some things helped briefly. Nothing lasted. The hardest part wasn't even the pain itself, it was losing faith that anything real existed.
I eventually started researching natural compounds and found something that genuinely changed things for me. Now I want to connect with others who understand this journey — because nobody should have to figure it out alone.
Looking forward to being part of this community. 🙏

This is a really powerful reframe that was very helpful for me. I hope it will help some of you, too.

6 reactions Hi everyone, my name is Billy and I’m a physiotherapist in Melbourne, Australia. I run a small clinic called Specific Physiotherapy in Preston.
I’m here because I spend my days working with people who are exhausted from living with chronic or recurring pain, especially low back pain that just keeps coming back no matter what they try. Many feel frustrated, defeated, or even a bit broken because nothing seems to fix it long-term.
Through my work, I’ve seen how powerful it can be when we combine modern pain science with practical, gentle movement strategies. Pain isn’t just about damaged tissues, it’s often the brain and nervous system trying to protect us. Understanding that story can be a real game-changer.
I’m hoping to share some honest, practical insights here from a physio’s perspective, things that have actually helped my patients feel more in control and move with less fear. I’d also love to learn from all of you.
If you live with persistent pain, you’re not alone. Looking forward to being part of this supportive community.

Sometimes, when we are in a dark season or experiencing hard circumstances, it's hard to find joy. This list is really helpful for offering small suggestions at how we can incorporate more joy.

My back is really bad right now. I'm trying to get comfortable in my bed but everything hurts. I'm waiting for my darling stupidhead to wake up so I can get my meds. Back pain is at 8.
