Nothing touches the pain that you feel in your body. You have tried it all: cortisone injections, surgery, MRI’s, X-Rays, physical therapy, doctors, acupuncture, massage, and medications. None of it has alleviated the pain . Hopelessness has set in. Every second of the day has become about how to escape the pain . Depression increases from what you can’t do anymore because of the pain . Anxiety spikes as you can’t figure out how to make it better or go away. You watch your movements like a hawk to make sure you don’t make it any worse. You are at your wits end. In spite of it all, there is hope.
