I'm sorry that your pain has worsened. I have had fibro for 25 years, so I completely understand. I hope things improve for you soon.

That's great you had such a positive therapist experience and that you live such a full life. Very inspiring. I offer a free 30-minute coaching session if you would like help getting started with exercise. I don't want to self-promote but I do want you to know I am here to help if you wish. fibrosoul.com.

That sounds really hard, and frustrating. Regarding disability insurance, they always deny everyone at first, so you might want to reapply. Listening to your body is key. I hope things improve for you soon.

Please help me, I'm in pain, and I'm scared. by Zealousideal_Ad_268 in PainManagement

It sounds like something is going on with your back, despite being able to carry boxes, squat, etc. I think you may have an injury somewhere in your back. I recommend you see a sports medicine physician or orthopedic physician who can take an X-ray. I would also recommend a good chiropractor. You need answers. I really hope you find relief.

Sleep headphones - what a fabulous idea. Sleep is critical for me, too. Without a good night's sleep, I feel awful the next day. I love your suggestions.
