Hello.

I'm at a breaking point. I am 27 years old and I've been trying to work this disgusting medical system since age 18, when I initially injured my back.

I don't want to ramble, because I could fill a book with my woes so far.

At 18 I injured myself, went on workers comp. It took more than 2 years just to get a proper diagnosis, and the time in-between was spent heavily addicted to pain killers. The only things these crooked workers comp doctors wanted to do, throw pills at me.

While on pain killers, I though I was fine, so I continued working as a lead cook full-time on my injury for those two years.

Once I finally got my MRIs, Xrays, etc. The doctors laid out my conditions and just how compounded my intial injury became. What started as lower back and muscle problems, shot up into my neck and leggs. The pain was bad at age 20, but now seven years later it is unbearable.

Pain killers, thinners, antidepressants. No, still pain. As I sit, am in the library with tears in my eyes. I am trying to attend part time at college, and MY GOD it is a test. Daily my mind is riddled with a desire to simply call it quits.

My family has been very supportive, but they can only do so much and they are getting older. Siblings moved out, parents aging, and here I am a worthless sack of flesh with nothing to offer.

I walk around daily, and in this era social interaction is just horrid. Everyone is on their phone, nobody cares for each other anymore. Every is literally disconnecting from life while connecting to their comfy virtual world.

My pain is in my low spine, low back muscles, upper shoulders, upper legs and severe muscle tension in my entire neck. I have spent the last 8-9 years going to doctors, but medical care in this conuntry is about masking, not curing. Pills, pills, pills and more pills!

No matter where I turn, my mind is completely locked out of this world. Because, I don't care to interact with these robots, concerned only about themselves and their stupid new phones or whatever technological device. Twitter this, facebook that, but everyone is so fake.

And with that, I've had plenty of time to diagnose the world around me and my declining health. They simply don't go together and I am sick and tired of even getting out of bed in the morning. Funny that i feel the need to reach out on the internet, people i cannot even see. Do they care? Is this just a chore for them, to read through people problems as terrible eventslike the Paris shootings take place.

That sums it up, what do I do?
 
Deep muscle therapy and ice. Check it out.

Don't just dive in, make sure your condition is one that can have deep muscle massage applied to it.
I use a croquet ball to break apart the fibers of my chronically injured back and hip muscles, then I ice 'em up with some handy ice packs I keep in the freezer. Works great to stop the pain and restore mobility.
 
I'm afraid I can't offer much more than sympathy and prayer. I'm currently dealing with chronic back pain as well and if it were daily (it's not) I can definitely understand giving up seeming like an appealing option. That's not really any help, though, is it? =(
 
I've had severe chronic pain for 39 years (car accident). Chronic Fatgiue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Migraine headaches. Currently addicted to opiate pain meds. Have gone through withdrawal twice. Came close to suicide, but researched what happens to those that do, so here I still am.

I know what you're going through with people. If I had a bitcoin for every time someone accused me of faking my illnesses.... Don't know what I can offer you, except to say that I care, and will pray for you.
 
Hi dear Brother @Akirasovan, welcome to CF.net. I can offer no medical advice, suffered with cluster/suicide headache episodes for thirty or so years, and know and believe in miraculous healing by God. I will say that pain medications gave better than no relief, and am persuaded the experience kept me closer to God than I would have been otherwise.

I undoubtedly believe in seeking God at His throne of grace we read of in Heb 4:16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. It isn't my great faith, but His promise I have witnessed again and again. I know of two raised from death at merely crying out unto Him, and other miracles concerning my wife and I throughout our marriage; she is in rehabilitation at this very time.

I read in Jas 5:16 . . . pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. What is a righteous man? In Christ we are! (Rom 5:19).

Dear Father, you have heard the cry of this dear child of You in Christ, and I add my voice to him in requesting a miracle of healing to his pain. Please deliver him as only You can to Your glory, and I thank You in the blessed name of Jesus. Amen.
