PAIN IS NO JOKE, BUT WHILE WE'RE HERE, LET'S COPE

Bones, joints and muscles

Hi everybody,

So everybody here deals with chronic pain.  It gets quite depressing at times.  I've seen some blogs and some things in pininterest that try to make light of things just to brighten our spirits.

So, I'd like to dedicate a discussion to making up silly things that are relevant to us just to make us laugh.

You can write a joke, make up a new definition, a poem, something crazy, like this quote I found:

"Why aren't there every any good side effects?  Just once I'd like to see: "May cause extreme sexiness!"

Here's another: 

"There are three levels of pain: PAIN, EXCRUCIATING PAIN, and STEPPING ON A LEGO"

Here's one I came up with: "Excuse me if I don't drag myself out of bed to shake your hand"

I also wrote this limerick:

My back hurts real bad, you know it.

The doctors said they could sew it,

But it hurts just the same

Now I can't play the game

So instead, I've become a new poet

Anyway, I thought anything you want to contribute here to lighten things up would be most welcome.  You could even write about a crazy thing like having a good day!

Hi Linda:

You are so gift in writing these limericks. I stayed up last night trying to write some as well. Minee may not be hilarious but has meaning and some rhyming . Here are a few.

More pain, less we gain

If you believe it

You will achieve it

That less pain will be more gain.

That sounds kinda dumb.

Here's a another one.

To hurt bad

Makes me mad

To be glad

Means that you don't hurt so bad.

I dont know about this one either.

And how about this.

What you feel

Calm or pain

Distance the pain

So you will feel calm again.

And how about this one. I like it pretty much.

The sorrows we endure

Will cry us a river

If there is a sliver of hope

We will all will help you cope

And this one which I think is pretty good

Don't give up the ship

There is smooth sailing ahead

Don't drown in the water

Because we are lifted up

Like a ship on high water.

And this one I like too.

We are accustomed to

needless worry

Worry not and lift yourself up your spirits

And have faith up above.

I only have two more but I don't know about this one.

The pain that you feel

And sometimes we feel that we won't heal

You that it is a big deal

When we worry a lot

And won't let us heal.

And here is the last one. I like it too.

We show you our love

And feelings for you

To help you understand

That you are not alone

To give you support from our hearts

Knowing that will never part.

And I stayed up late night doing this. I should have my head examined.

So here it is my not so funny limericks but meaningful anyway.

Take heed and read the one's you like and tell me if it need be appoved

I think you may have the start of a song.  We could work on it together.

How about this for a start,

The pain that you're feeling

Will keep you from healing

Please understand

You're never alone

We give your our hearts.

Anyway, that's what I got out of what you said, It's not a limerick, but maybe we could write a song.  Not to try to get famous, but just because.  I like what you said.  I hope you got some sleep.  Take care of yourself Tiger.

I think it needs more work

The pain that you're feeling

Is part of the healing

Just keep talking to me

Because you're never alone

We give you our hearts...

Is that better?

Yes, Yes, yes

More better.

Yes, we can make this as a song.

We will work on it.

Meanwhile good night and talk to you soon

Tiger saying bye bye.

Having a bad day. So, I have three main areas that hurt - my right foot, my left hip through thigh, and my low back-left side of my back.  Usually they take turns being at their worst.  Today all three are at their worse.  All day, no relief.  Plus I dread the weekend. Cecil just HAS to go out and eat every Friday night, most women would be thrilled, I know, I just complain. And then there's Saturday grocery shopping.  I hate it.  I should just go ahead and use the wheelchair cart, but I only use that if I absolutely HAVE TO.  Usually the peole who use those are people who are really really big.  I'm not as small as I used to be - I used to be very thin, now, I weigh 200 pounds.   And I know that a lot of us with all these issues are probably larger than we used to be.  I have so many medical issues that I didn't have when I was youngeri - like the hypothyroidism, the high blood pressure, I was being treated for Addison's disease for a while - and the medication for that really packed on the pounds, and you just can't help it.  My boyfriend doesn't get it at all.  He tries, but how can he? And I'm dreading my doctor appt next week with the pain management doctor.  I never get to see him, only the PA, but I want to have a serious discussion before he decides to go ahead and do that RFA when he is not sure whech level to do.  And I am thinking I should go ahead and get the Nevro Sensa put in while I live in a metro area -  but I just don't want to go to that neurosurgeon. He was so rude to me.  I'm feeling all kinds of anxiety, which I know that makes things worse. Sorry, just not having a good day. I get very depressed when it gets like this because I've been in ain for over 10 years, and it seems to be getting worse not better, and I don't think the doctors care.  Take care, Linda
