@nursehadley: I hate when I see comments about chronic pain patients “looking fine” and nurses deciding to withold prescribed medication. This is my analogy for chronic vs acute pain. P.s. since I filmed this, I have moved the mirror away from the breaker box. Someone very kindly informed me how dangerous that was last time I posted it 🙂 #chronicpain
as a chronic pain sufferer, this is a lovely way to explain pain management ❤️Thank you 🙏🏻

Edit with Emmy :
The "but you don't seem sick" line is so exhausting. sometimes people use it as a compliment, like "you're so strong" but it's alienating/invalidating

Thank you for this. The amount of medical professionals I see, claiming it’s in the heads of chronic pain patients is getting out of hand.

After my C-section the nurse refused to give anything other than ibuprofen & said I’m an addict for crying (not physically able to even sit up on my own) and asking for the real pain reliever 😞
