Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I have two very different questions as a spouse of a person with chronic pain, so am going to post them separately. However, they are somewhat cross-related so am mentioning it here. My husband has DDD with chronic pain 24/7. He has a spinal cord stimulator, which helps but he doesn't like the feeling of it so uses it sparingly. The only other way he manages the pain is with morphine. Neither takes away the pain completely, they just make it manageable. I think we've had sex maybe 4 times in the last 2 years. I understand his lack of interest, between the pain and the meds, but I'm still healthy and young (49). But I feel like my desire for sex is so trivial compared to what he goes through every day that I just try not to think about it. I've tried everything I can think of to stimulate him, but nothing worked so I've given up. Is it possible for men with his condition to have a sex life? If so, what can I do to spark his interest? If not, well, it would be best if I just know that. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
