This whole experience has been such an eye-opener to me. It’s really shown me how people who don’t realize it can end up in this cycle. I did start my pain meds for the pain, which saved my life after going into a deep depression over chronic pain…but now I’m taking this as more of a lesson to me. It does suck to be in pain, and I don’t deny people who are in pain, but until every avenue is crossed, pain meds should be used in extreme cases and not as crutch. I just thought the whole problem was gone, but I masked the pain instead of changing my life and habits to help myself. I’m using this lesson to help my daughter when she gets older, to let her see that I’ve been through it, I did it, and anything can be done. And that despite all of this, I still have my pain, but I’ve got to find another way.
