I have chronic pain caused by extreme abuse as a child - finally confirmed that it's not #allinmyhead . 5 corrective surgeries later I'm stable but the pain will be a lifelong. My pain mgt dr has luckily been tremendous but only 2 ways to treat are left. He told me today that if they don't work I'm on my own because pain meds are not allowed long term anymore. #floored What am I supposed to do to cope with huge daily pain if the procedures don't work??? His suggestion was speak to my psychiatrist. Are we really back to that AGAIN? I am terrified - I just can't do that.....
