Tips For Living With Chronic Pain?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am new to message boards...

I have been enduring crippling back pain since the birth of my son

six years ago. I was able to get it back in check and keep it

there, though always being mindful of it, until I had my daughter

and then made two major moves (where I did most of the packing). It

is coming up on two years that I have had daily, unrelenting pain.

I have had just about every injection possible and the doctors are

still in the guessing stage. They narrowed down that part of my

pain was due to facet joint and an injection did help. My pain is

now in my very lower back/tailbone area. I believe it all stems

from having a very large baby in a very small body and having a

traumatic delivery.

I'm at the stage now where I need some coping skills on how to live

with this. I have become very lonely because I can rarely leave the

house. I have been on many different drugs, but am currently on

Lortab and Skelaxin.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write back.

Take care,
