Hi Kathryn and welcome to our community forums

Pain is the pits and causes all sorts of other issues, especially anxiety and depression.

My pain is getting worse as I age - finding it in all my joints and bones. My hubby has lived with it for over 40 year and has found various methods to help manage the daily pain - he has a daily routine of yoga, strengthening exercises, palattes. When he does this his pain is reduced to almost non existence. When he lapses, the pain can be excruciating. So it's back to the routine he's found to be successful in keeping the pain at bay.

Not sure if this helps you with your situation. Are you able to share more of your story Kathryn? There's no pressure for you to do so, only if you want to.

Kind regards

Hi Kate,

I am so sorry to hear you have suffered for so long. I had chronic headaches for two years and it was so hard. I cannot imagine 25 years of pain. You are an incredibly strong and brave person. Don't ever forget that. And don't ever forget that there is no shame or guilt in having trouble coping with pain. I hope you find the courage to post more, only if you're comfortable and ready, of course.

I wish you all the best!
