From people who came through it
“When doctors say the scans are normal and you still hurt, it's easy to doubt yourself. Don't. Pain is real even when it doesn't show up on a screen. Find one person who believes you, and hold onto the good weeks. I still have bad ones, but I've learned to plan around them. You will too. And if you can, get a buddy. Someone who gets it without you having to explain.”
Bright Bus · been through chronic pain“Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Canceling plans for the third time, every single day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. You're not on your own.”
lemonbird1994 · been through chronic pain“I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. Back then it was doctors saying the scans look normal. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. x”
Alina E. · been through chronic pain“I was right where you are two years ago. I remember when a heat pad that never leaves the sofa, like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. Be gentle with yourself.”
