every time I read about the struggles with chronic pain I ask myself why doctors cant just turn the pain receptors off. I know that pain is important to avoid injury but surely any damage is preferable to not being able to do anything because of constant pain

Find a psychiatrist who will prescribe you morphine.

>>274256Because they cant actually turn them off and painkilling meds that can do that have been demonized to an absurd extent.

>>274339I have a tarlov cyst in the lumbar area of the spine, which may be pressing against nerve roots and causing neuropathy down the line. Symptoms started appearing when i was just 14 years old and got progressively worse over the years.

>What do you suffer from?
Moderate Tinnitus
>How do you cope with the pain?
Sound machines, fans, and recently CBT
>Have you come to terms with it?
Not sure if that's really possible. There are studies of Tinnitus negatively effecting concentration and recall.
The fact that it gets exacerbated(or sounds like it does) from external factors like stress, painkillers, and sudden very loud noises makes this seem impossible.
>How do you see your future living with whatever it is that you have?
Suicide is probable fate in the next 20 years if I'm reckless. If it doesn't get too much worse or AI helps speed up clinical trials regarding stem hair cell regeneration, continue as is.
Somedays though, as it can be, I'd imagine with any chronic condition, are fucking rough.

Still have chronic chest pain but it's a lot more manageable. Fixing my diet helped a lot too.
Chronic pain really sucks bros, do what you can to mitigate it, do what you can to cope. Good luck.

>>274241started to get prescripted pain killers, how long before I get addicted to it? I'm so sick with my porn/masturbation addiction I would be ready to be a wreck to stop being a degenerate (tried over 200 times read books tried all kind of methods). I have lots of pain but I consider most of them relatively mild even if they ruined my life.
Anyway if I take one pill everyday how long will it take before I feel addicted?

>>274241Hey bro. I've been in chronic pain now for 25 years give or take. I've been through the same useless doctors experience as you have and I know where you're coming from so let me give you the only real advice any one can.
Come to terms with it or kill yourself.
Those are your 2 options. You learn to accept the old you is dead and find ways to live as new you or you suicide. There is no in between. There is no healing potion or magical thing you can do to fix it. Grieve for your old life and accept your new one. What hobbies can THIS you do? What makes THIS you feel distracted from the pain? What goals can THIS you achieve and work towards?
There will be days you're angry and resentful. I'm there at the moment. I came out of a flare up, had a week and went into another flare up with more difficult to manage symptoms. Really hard to accept being bait and switched but such is chronic pain conditions. Another couple of months where I can't do much more than lay on the sofa ahoy..
Oh and get on disability. It makes life much much easier if you have a steady include. You can pay rent and buy things to help your living situation become more adapted to your condition.
No.275529
>>275523Pain medication is only addictive if it's used improperly. Using the addictive stuff as an emergency back up means you can go your whole life with barely any issues (constipation and maybe a bit of depression the days following as they're a downer). If you take a handful a day then you will quickly become dependant on them.

>>274241chronic pain, physical chronic pain is the number one worst thing a person can have. all other issues can't even happen without you first being healthy. I was born with a congenital case of lumbar spinal stenosis. my grandma's friend is a surgeon and he looked at my MRI's and said it looked like the back of a 93 year old man and the worst case he's ever seen. my family just spat on me saying its because i was lazy, fucking retards thats not how it works. ironically both my dad and my brother got back issues and their advice all failed them. I was 19 OP, and i could not sit longer than a minute without having to lay down. i lost 30 pounds in a month from not eating. it was hell. it was so bad. but thankfully. for me there was hope. a minimally invasive back surgery, a laminectomy (where they just cut off the part of the bone thats compressing the nerves) took all the pain away and i was better than ever after it, but it left me with a lot of sympathy for chronic pain patients.

>>275557This sounds like a symptom I got after coming off meds.
It's lasted for several years though it has gotten better.
I'd suggest trying antihistamines.
I actually switched to a very restrictive low histamine diet for a while so I could tolerate the feelings.

This is only a brief guide about what I gathered. To deeper knowledge of why I am saying this all, you'll'ave to research on your own. This practices are designed to outcast most defficiencies known by wizkids away (muh brainfog, restlessness, etc), exceptuating only those given by genome:
>leave all diaries, inmediately
>leave grains: no wheat, corn or rice at all
>eat your foods within a reduced schedule, rather than through all the day long
>avoid starchy foods and red meats
>if not vegetarian, eat meats briefly: like once a week or two weeks
>the softest and wealthiest meats are white fish
>do you like nuts? They are still acidifiers…
>learn your ayurveda body type (dosha) and how to regulate it
If you want quick results, these are the shock therapies:
>fasting regularly (the body must slowly develop its ability to detox or adversities a.k.a "detox crisis" are to be faced. The same on mucusless diet.) using honey if dismay prone.
>colon enema
>HIIT exercise
>do not use domestic cooling/heating unless your body strictly requires so, due to some sickness or whatever else
>drink hot water, as much as it can be without harming your mouth, specially useful for early morning detox
>use temazcalli
>try (your body may not be done for so, so just try) keto diet
>avoid having breakfast inmediately after getting up, the body is still waking up
To further understand it all, next readings are recommended (or immediately needed depending on your degree of harm):
>every single book from Arnold Ehret
>"The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity" by Dan Reid
>"Healing by Fasting" by Alexi Suvorin
>"The Power of Metabolism" by Frank Suarez
>"Grain Brain" by David Perlmutter
>"How I became young at sixty" by Horace Fletcher
>"Longevity diet" by Walter Longo
>"The cheese trap" by Neal Barnard
>"The Salt Fix" by James Nicolantonio
>"One meal a day" by Yoshinori Nagumo
>some books about specific organ cleansing by Andreas Moritz (the other ones I don't trust them much = up to you)
>"Lies my doctor told me" by Ken D. Berry
>"Flax oil as true aid against …" by Johanna Budwig
>"Lymphatic lessons" by Kelly Kennedy
>"The body has its reasons" by Therese Bertherat
>"The Wim Hof method" by Wim Hof
Synthetizing common ideas withhold by all these tomes you should have what school didn't taught about the easiest forms of medicine, enough to keep most chronic diseases at bay. It may require patience and alertness in order to avoid the lethal effects of sudden, uncontrolled detox crisis.

>>275402A few weeks ago I got up too quickly and I pulled a muscle on the outside of my thigh. I felt a burn, like a band that stretched too much. And now I feel a burning pain 24/7. It's lasted a few weeks so far. I'm only 25 years old for fuck's sake. I took some NSAIDs and they didn't do shit. I also have other things that have started creaking, popping and hurting for no fucking reason.
