Hello everyone, I feel as if I'm invading this space as I'm not a sufferer of chronic pain myself, but I have intimate knowledge of the damage it can cause and wanted to tell my wife's story with it and how much I feel for any of you that are in chronic pain. My wife began suffering from intractable
Here is my experience going to a pain doctor for the first time. Spoiler alert: I completely regret going at all, it was my choice to go because I was so hopeful I would get help. &#x200B; * Arrogant and uncaring attitude from the first appointment. I never, not once felt he gave a damn about
