How do you keep on smiling?

[Guest guest]

Happy Valentines Day friends,

I'm going to the Injection doctor on the 16th. She is also a pain management

doctor. At this time she is not taking new clients, but, might be in the near

future. Is this a good road to go down?

The doctor I see now for my pain meds is an internist. He is a good guy and I

like him. I don't feel my pain is under-control though. I have good days and bad

days. (3-4 good days a month)

The injection at L-5/S-1 lasted maybe a month and during the month I had a 22

day static migraine. I knew it might work, might not. I knew it would be

$4,500.00 I just want this pain to go away or just ease up even.

How do you keep on going? Keep on smiling? Pain management idea?

I need some help. My dad, who I am very close with, is tired of hearing about

it. He wants me to snap out of it. This really hurt a lot when he said this a

few days back.

Any ideas?

Thanks for listening, sorry to sound like a whiner.
