My back has destroyed my entire life

[Quasar44]

Everythiing is now super slow and difficult.
Getting out of bed is no longer easy.
I have a hacking cough and that kills my back !!!!

I feel like my life is over and it seems my options are running out

Who would have thought by my mid 40s that I would be a cripple

There is nothing else on my mind !! I am really really hurting bad

I can no longer do any sports and I really liked grappling classes

Well you can kill yourself if it is that bad or take medication and do meditation that can help with the pain management.

I will not kill myself

I just wish I could get back to my fighting stuff and I feel that its over

Sorry you are in pain. Have you sought medical help? There may be options to alleviate or decrease your pain to make you more functional

So this is no casual "silly" recommendation. I suffered chronic pain for years bc of a couple of auto-immune conditions I have. Lately, research on chronic pain says a lot of it is learned neural pathways. It's not that pain is not "real"--it is real. But it does not all initiate in the part of the body where you think you feel pain. It's a learned response--it's in the brain. The good news is that you can train your brain to quell that response. You can calm it down.

Interesting research on back pain too. Many people with degenerative disks and other typical signs of aging have no pain. And some people with back pain have no signs. Just more indication that much of chronic pain is brain-based.

I've been living with chronic back pain since 2001. I was forty that year.

Walking outside is such good medicine for me. Agreed.

Thanks.

I was hospitalized twice and missed three months of work once, when my kids were in elementary school.

Your kind concern is noted

Imagine being such a blistering ass that you have to mock people's health issues because you disagree with their politics.

THANK THE POISON JABS FOR THAT!

I feel lousy since my jabs. Whole body aches when I get up (although I still do the physical work of a younger man, at age 82).
