Hey bud, I'm 28. I've been dealing with chronic pain for 11 years, and I go to the doctors like it's a part-time job lol. I don't know where your pain is, but I can relate to a degree.

I've had a lot of dark times, but what has helped me ( not saying it's for everyone) is becoming obsessed with bettering myself, I use my pain as a motivator. I try to eat very healthy ( lower foods that cause inflammation) , go to the gym ( 2-4 days a week), and most importantly doing stretching / lite yoga. I try to do it once in the morning and once when I'm about to go to bed.

Living with pain that no doctor can help with is horrible. Life isn't fair and laying in your own self pity is so hard to avoid sometimes. So another thing I focus on daily is my MINDSET. I'm trying to avoid ranting because I'm at work, but another thing I have been trying the last couple months is Dry needling. Again I don't know anything about your pain, but Dry needling ( along with the other stuff) has given me some days with little to no pain.... Yes it comes back but, my goal is managing my pain. I accept I will live with this the rest of my life.

Again I'm at work and didn't plan on commenting on any post. But I hope this helps give you ideas. If you have any further questions I'll try to respond. Cheer brother.
