Yeah, coping up with so much Chronic pain is extremely painful. Only those who go through it understand it. I want to know if any therapy helps with it or it is a waste to even try. I did think about suicide as a means to escape from the pain, but I will never seriously give it a try.
For me it is in multiple joints and sometimes throughout the body. I can't walk many times, I can't type. It hurts so much. It feels such a shame that I should go through so much at this young age. I am 27.> I have chronic pain in my lower back and I wasn't coping. I became very suicidal. It just dominated my life. I have found that topamax helped. Also, I am on antidepressants now. There wasn't a coping without a medicine intervention in my case. It was affecting my sleeping too. I became a mess. If I didn't get some type of relief, I don't know what would have happened.
