Can anybody suggest a good website or forum for chronic pain?
I'd be curious myself about this one. That's the one side effect from treatment that drags me down the most. I've not gone a day without pain in over three years. Even on a good day, I still have pain on the 2-4 out of ten range and requires ibuprofen a couple times a day. A bad day is a 5-6+ and requires prescription pain killers. It's exhausting sometimes :(

It is exhausting. Mine started with a car accident five years ago ... Did tons of treatment after but never recovered completely. The past few years has slowly gotten worse ... My levels are similar. Never a pain free day. Usually around 2-4 myself depending on activity level and how I slept, lately been a 6. It comes in waves. After a few years my chiro said it was chronic myofascial pain. Been laying on a golf ball to work out the knots, but only does so much.
I don't think I ever sleep as soundly as most and wake up hurting a lot. I'm frustrated as I'm 27 but hurt like I'm much older. Because I'm young and anxious, I don't get very far with doctors taking it seriously besides my chiro but he's out of my insurance plan now.
