Re: not coping

Is your injury permanent now or likely to improve over time and treatments @outlander?

Yeah, pain is such an energy sapper. It's always there, and even though you deal with it, and try to will it away, it never does. And then when injuries or chronic illness occurs, it's a constant cycle of dealing with medical stuff. Plus the mh stuff if you have that too. It's a never ending circle huh?

My wounds are infected again so I've had to change dressing type. And back for a review with the nurse in a week.

Re: not coping

It’s permanent and as feared it has spread through my entire leg, hip and it’s affecting my digestive system as well. Has been confirmed by a couple of specialists. They also suspect it’s the reasoning behind my neck pain and migraines that just don’t ever seem to go away.
I’m travelling to another state where they offer more surgical pain relief like pumps and simulators or specialise more in infusion therapies.

I hate the never ending cycle 😞

Oh gosh, not again. I was hoping they would be well on their way to healing now 😥 hopefully the new dressings will be more helpful

Re: not coping

I wish I could show you some of the things it does. Some treatments although painful some were intriguing @Sans911 it’s a condition that seems to spark the interest of many when they hear about it

Re: not coping

@outlander

Only just saw your tag.

You are such a battler, and keep fighting the good fight with all the added physical and psych stuff.

Constant pain is so hard, seems to push us to keep moving, which is NOT needed when trying to also get essential sleep. I hope there is some relief soon.

@Sans911 Sorry to hear about the infection. Hope it heals.

Hey @Eve7 @tyme @Faith-and-Hope

Certainly not a level playing field for everybody. All we can do is keep trying with cards we are dealt.
