Please do, Kathy! And I hope the shots help for longer than they have before (it’s always a crap shoot when I get shots for low back pain and sciatica). Chronic pain is a funny thing (not funny ha-ha, I’m sure you know!); sometimes it helps to talk about it and sometimes talking about it makes it worse. It is said that pain has a strong emotional component, so I’m working on that angle currently, and that is probably the only thing that allowed me to take that “one pill less” step I’ve been dying to take. Bad weather still wipes that out though. I tend to write a lot about my experience with chronic pain, and most of it ends up on the Medium publication Pain Talks (I’m not sure why I seem to be the only one putting stories up there lately). Your friends might benefit from some of them, I don’t know. Worth a try! Thanks for reading, Kathy, and I’m sending good wishes your way!
