injury started it
but long time
coming
body run down
over time
waiting
for a chance
the knee
one part of many
crying out
no where to hide
in the world
ache pain
sleep unable
toss
turn
fatigue causes sleep
not for long
body positioned
in bed
like chalk
outline
seeking relief
drug help
one that works
two months
like a lifetime
how does one
handle it all
chronic
life sapping
overwhelming
understand
now
gets to the point
end it all
why they do it
why they call

Something that everyone can relate to...no matter how old or young...

It is something no one should go through.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh God! I hope you haven't reached that desperate a stage!
What sort of pain is it? I use Celedrin cream and glucosamine/chondroitin gels--have a sciatic nerve that gets to me, but really severe chronic pain, that's the worst.
There are many resources on the internet, of course that will offer lots of suggestions to alleviate symptoms. I didn't know that putting pillows between ones legs could help, but it does. (Then again, I've no idea what sort of pain you're in and as my husband keeps reminding me, I'm no doctor!)
Thinking about you,

Currently, the pain meds have curtailed the pain and I am having therapy 3 x a week for the next month. There is a tear and have been told surgery would not help. Pillows did not help and sleep took hours. I do fear it coming back.
thanks for your thoughts.
