Question for anyone w/ chronic pain...

[greeneyez55]

If you have a bad flare up, and finally the pain subsides, are you completely exhausted afterward?!

This is getting ridiculous.. I have flare ups at work because I'm on my feet all day, then when I get home and things calm down my pain somewhat goes away and immediately I just can't hold my eyes open and I Have to take a nap..  :(

How can I make it stop?  Not the pain, cause believe me I've tried, but the exhaustion from it... ugh..

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL sorry but it's just the way it is. being in chronic pain takes alot out of a person and it can make you simply exhausted.

I was in a bad car wreck a couple years ago. They did an MRI awhile ago and discovered I have DDD, bulging discs and arthritis on top of it all. I have to take pain pills everyday just to get up. They want to do surgery but I am scared. There isnt a day goes by that I dont hurt so bad I am in tears. Then I am so tired and exhausted. It takes a toll on your body, mind and soul. Im sorry mama I understand.

 sometimes taking a quick nap right when you get home is a lifesaver. pain is an exhausting, draining, terrible thing! sometimes thats all you can do. depending on what yours is caused by, there may be other things to help. feel better momma!

 there is no cure for the exhautsion. I mean your body is just worn out from having so much pain. Yes it sucks but at least the pain subsides right? I hate being in pain but honestly yeah I am glad when it's "over" and can rest finally. Im sorry that you have so much pain =/
