My mother suffers terribly from back pain after being hit by a truck.
She has now got osteo arthritis, and has been trying for over 10 years to find medication to relieve her pain, and nothing works.
The doctors even got her hooked on morphine!!!
She has tried heat packs, massages, natural remedies…. what can she do to help the pain?

Answer by SaraBeara
sorry to say this but, if all that isn;t working i don’t think there is anything else that will. Does she seem very stressed out, anxious or depressed, these things can worsen her condition. you just need to keep her on the bright and cheery side and support her, help her forget about it…even though it is hard to. Does she go to physical therapy at all? Being more mobil and putting those body parts that have been resting to work and become stronger!

    The author understands chronic pain, May 23, 2010

    Living in chronic pain is so difficult. Most people are sympathetic but cannot really understand what it is like to live this way. The authors are compassionate and make me feel as if somebody understands and cares. I would give this book to anybody I know that is struggling with a chronic illness. The support I feel when reading this book is better than any counselor I have ever talked too.

    This book is exactly how my husband feels with his illness that they are calling for lack of better diagnosis neuropathy. But it goes so much more beyond that. It is helping him feel there are others out there. Thank you to the authors!
