In this section we will discuss pain. Mainly physical pain and how to work through it or even past it with things other than drugs. We want to look at questions such as what is pain and how does in manifest itself in the body? Is there a mind body connection to pain? Share your thoughts or research here at the board.

I got my stitches out !!!! now I will have a nurse come to my home to take care of it 2x's a week. By doing what I am suppose to I am finally progressing. Something thats been along time coming. I have pain but I take an aleve and hope for the best. I do simple exercises for legs and arms. Helps relieve stress on body from having to lay down so much. Makes me feel better physically and mentally. Cassandra your one simple word perception helped me cope this time. Accept it and grow from it

Thank you Normajean. It sounds like you have accepted that there will be some pain, but that you will move through it. Our perception of anything can always change, we do have a choice about that.

well things didn't go as I expected for my foot. I go up and down a lot and feel even more like a prisoner. I am attached to a wound vac and it had consumed me. I cried I threw temper tantrums whe nurse didn't do it right. I could have had serious problems because of it.. After i loged a complaint who do they send to my house on saturday her. It was like dumb and dumber with her. She was nervous I was scared. It was akward.. this machine is to help heal my wound. It's horrible. I have mostly accepted it but have bad days and they suck.. I have a happy jar that isnt tofull . I feel like i am in ground hog day same thing over and over . Now they think there may be and infection. . This has been going on since september 26th.. I try so hard to accept what I cannot change. Most of the time I can do it but those down days are horrible and all I want to do is sleep. This hasn't been easy and I feel like I am whinning. feelings are feelings whether good or bad. this is taking a toll on my marriage. My husband has said some really stupid things and at this moment I am mad.. I need to keep finding the inner strength from myself to carry on. I am strong woman but need guidance too.
