I have chronic pain and nothing works for it. I'm afraid I'll be forgotten in the opioid crisis.

9. I am not making a statement on pain killers. I take them myself. But when you

say you pain started when you began your new job it made me think that it could be related. I had PTSD which had all sorts of symptoms and when I went to eye movement desensitization I was astounded at how my emotional and some physical symptoms got better.

It may be possible that the new job triggered something in you. I'm only mentioning this because they have not been able to find a cause. In my own case, I think my emotions affect my pain level. For example, about a week ago I had to use a scooter to get around a big box store and then Fri. I went to NYC to meet some friends and we walked several blocks to get to a special restaurant for dinner. I felt pain the next day but I continued to walk, just not as far. I think the reason was I was so happy to be with these friends and be in NY for the first time in really long.

I've also been back at physical therapy and I think that is finally helping too.
