Since the year 2000, I've had one serious problem after the other.
All, for some reason, have to do with musculoskeletal issues. Now I'm
dealing with plantar fasciitis....and a horrible case of it I might
add.

Sometimes I feel like I'm going to go crazy in my mind when I try to
think about how to deal with all these physical issues. No one else
can understand, and I'm finding that no one really cares if you're
feeling well or not. There's the initial "I'm sorry you're feeling
bad" but after that it seems no one cares.

Just when I get positive and think I'm getting over something, another
problem pops up. I'm sure there are others here that are experiencing
the same pattern. How on earth do you keep sane? I'm really having a
problem lately.

Hi & Welcome Laura!
Well u sure found a really great place here for understanding cp &
some of us have something very similar to the horrid pain u have. I
have RSD/Neuropathy & there are quite a few others here w/same. We
come here to support, vent, learn, share...if u can go to the top of
the page where it says "Search Group" & type in neuropathy u will
find posts on it there. Also, do the same on google, u will find some
pretty amazing groups. These are the 2 best as far as rsd,
neuropathic pain (which to my understanding is what u have w/your
condition, smack me if I'm wrong!), anyway found these thanks to
Rene' (pashmina) ... http://rsds.org/2/related_sites/index.html &http://www.rsdhope.org/ also a group I'm absolutely in love w/has an
answer for u as to why u r always in pain...it's the War On Drugs &
Pain Drs...so check this out & please subscribe, it's free &
nonprofit. That's the Pain Relief Network (kudos to Siobhan
Reynolds!)http://www.painreliefnetwork.org/prn/category/mainpage/
Hope to see u both here & there & there's also a thread here on what
helps pain...someone made a list...I'd post here for you but my husb.
is bootin' me off the puter cuz he needs it! lol! Hang in there!
We're here
Kindly,

Aloha Laura!

Sorry Lori.. **smack**, unfortunately, this is how I read and felt
after reading her post (nothing personal, just another person not
knowing the different kinds of pain):

Well, geez Laura! You've got one of the most common causes of heel
pain in your foot. Heel pain is about to drive you insane? You'd like
to know how I and others here manage to keep our sanity from day to
day and you're sure this group has others experiencing a pattern of
having ACUTE pain in one area, then when it fades, another shows up in
a different area to replace it?

I don't really mean to sound so fully facetious in the above
paragraph; however, I can't help but wonder how many members had the
same reaction as I did after reading your post? First, I had to look
up "plantar fasciitis" because I'd never heard of such a thing causing
CHRONIC pain before. I kind of figure I've heard at least MOST of the
reasons that MOST people suffer CHRONIC pain since I'm now in my 12
year (and counting) of it due to sloppy surgeries and/or difficult to
repair/replace discs. Yes, of course I'm still learning something new
every day about living the kind of existence, which is nearly
NONexistent.

I'm so full of doubt about whether you really know the difference
between acute and chronic pain since you say this "musculoskeletal"
pain keeps 'changing'. Guess what? I'd be more than happy to TRADE
you my severe chronic pain for your heel pain that you know will
probably go away just like all the others. Perhaps you haven't been
proactive enough with your doctor or doctors to get them to be more
serious about your condition. It seems to me that you may have
something more like a disease that is making different parts of you
hurt like heck; something similar to Epsein-Barr Syndrome or the like.
My wife contracted EBS about 3 months ago and she was having extremely
severe pain in a different lymph node type gland every week or two. It
was pure hell for her because she is one who rarely, and I mean RARELY
gets sick with anything. It did ONE thing that I was happy to see; it
made her realize just how hard I have to "try to look healthy" and not
in pain. However, with your pain being more in the bone/muscles, I
highly doubt you have that.

As Lori said though, of course you are welcomed here as we welcome
anyone struggling with pain. I was writing this as Lori was hers and
before I posted mine, I noticed she finished long before me (I'm
easily distracted lately and can't type and chew gum at the same time
- LOL LOL!).

Aloha Just For Now,
Hawaiian Wayne
