She has been seeing a pain management doctor for the past 2 months after being rejected on more than one occasion by other pain management doctors because of her multiple conditions. She seems to be doing somewhat better than she has in the past and that is all we can ask.

My own chronic joint/back pain kicks in when I'm closing off my emotions and you know "acting like a Man". Especially when I'm repressing positive and warm emotions. Pains much better than it used to be but its still there. No way would I take drugs for it, no offence to anyone who does. My wife noticed my tendancies first. It made me take a long hard "look in the mirror" and I'm the guy who swore I knew myself inside and out. Just realizing it decreased the pain, no kidding. My pain is almost gone now and I can workout and feel good. A bonus is I let myself have affection for my wife again now that I'm not repressing it. I don't know about the Ladies, or is this a guy thing??? Hellzyeah do I see a link between chronic pain and emotional well being!!!
