Doc: “what’s your pain level?” Me: “my chronic pain or my flare pain because those are two different scales and they happen at the same time?”

"Sir, you need to drink more water and increase your fiber. Plus, your anxiety is most likely causing most of these symptoms......."👀

I was prescribed 800 mg of ibuprofen, every 6 hours for over 8 years to the point that my body literally cannot handle NSAIDs At all anymore.

My PT literally told me to workout more, and learn to live with the pain… umm I’m alive, so I have that last part down. But out the fuck am I supposed to move more when the moving I already do puts me right at or over the limit. 🙄

I have been told well you're not crying so it can't be that bad. just because I am not crying doesn't mean crap to me. I am used to living with this chronic pain now for about 20 years so crying is not in my vocabulary.

Same stories and 3 pain management offices refused my referrals because I was “too young to be in that much pain and lose weight”. I’m 24 hour tube fed and 37 years old in palliative care. It’s ridiculous.

Yes, like having the stomach flu 24/7. I have ulcerative colitis. I was told by friends to meditate because it was stress related

How do you get your doctor to listen to you when they know you are in pain but refuse to give you medication what can I do

my pain doctor told me to try ibuprofen after I told him and showed him my medical records that it sends me into anaphylaxis. He said "maybe this time it will be different"

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Yes. I have recently been told I should try to save my pain medicine, and not take it. I moved to a different state, and it has been the biggest battle. Due to the way my body reacts to my pain, my previous Dr told me to take it every 6 hrs. Not to wait for the pain to get out of control. My blood pressure jumps up really high when I'm in pain. I've been rushed to a cardiac ICU when I was having a flare up. They said I was having a heart attack. My heart was fine...I just need to get control over my pain,and I was fine once they gave me IV pain meds. I can't control the way my body reacts. Unfortunately for me, I can go through this multiple times a year. I get tired of trying to explain it to Dr's.

I tell them I keep my Tylenol in a Pez dispenser. With a straight face. That usually shuts them up.
