I am sorry but I am speaking for a small amount of people out there who live with chronic pain many just sit down and do not speak out and no one really knows that there neighbor or friend is in pain all day

another problem is learning to live with pain is dangerous as I found out I had a clot in the lung 8 months ago but for me it was only a minor pain even the doctor at the hospital said nothing wrong with me

30 minutes later he was shocked at the xray because my body now thinks 5 or 6 pain out of 10 and more is normal and does not react like it should

it was a nurse who knows me well insisting that I have a xray that I am alive the doctor wanted to send me home

but in fairness to all who are addicted there are all sick in some way even though they choose that path and may be if we looked at it that way we might start to solve the problem
