I know people mean well & I'm not angry w/ individuals as none really understand people with #chronicpain until it happens to us, but nothing sinks me more than hearing, "You seem fine." My pain may be invisible to you, but this reduces my physical perceptions to your limited observations.

My MDs & NP, MRI & EMG scans, 3 ganglion block injections, 2 cortisone shots, massive rX record, general surgeon, plastic surgeon, pain clinic docs, 3 neurologists, neurosurgeon & daily life all disagree.
