Re: Chronic pain- who's got it?
Kristin, I have bone mets to my spine, pelvis and sternum. I totally understand the pain, and have used different over the counter and prescrip meds to deal with the pain. The weird thing now is that I seem to be having pretty severe arthritis in my hands that I can only think must be a side affect of my meds. I have claw hands in the morning and even when I get them working they pretty much ache all day. Hang in there! I think of you whenever I log on here and our similar challenges raising our young ones with stage IV cancer. Hugs!
