I have been suffering with pain thoughout my whole body for many years.. After getting injured at a tire store I was employeed at. After two back surjury's, I did get much relief, but kept working, cause that is what a man does, and I liked my job. I had to leave that job in sept of 2004, I could no longer do my job, and the company was suffing from my mistakes. In a short time with no income I lost everything I had worked for. I met my angel of a wife newyears of 2005. She is very good to me, and try's very hard to put up with my moodiness. Hear resently my daughter, 18 years old had her second baby, he was born premature, and has some special needs. My wife always has wanted a baby but
we could'nt have one, for reson's beond my control. Well now we have costody on my daughters youngest, I love him with all my heart. But my pain leval has increased with takeing care of him while my wife is at work. I takke my meds but they only ease the pain, when I am resting, or not being real active. Plus the stess of still fighting with social security. thanks for listening.
Hello Al
Good to meet you, and Welcome to the Chronic Pain Connection!
I'm very sorry about your pain and also your struggle with SSD. I've been going through their rigamorole for nearly 4 yrs now and I know how frustrating and how much excess pain they can cause. I'm waiting for a hearing soon and just wish it would be over, as I'm sure you would too.
I hope to see you around and if you need any help with finding anything or navigating the site, just let me know and I'll do my best to assist you.

Thank you betty, It sounds like we are almost going though the same thing. I am waiting on a hearing also, It is suppose to be dec 10th this year, I'm keeping a positive additude about it but not getting my hopes up. I do have two ore. senitors backing me on it this time. My wife talked me into finding a site like this, so I could find other people going through the same kinda pain and frustation as I am, and so for it has helped my mental state. I have always had a hard time dealing with this crapp cause I tried to stay in shape most of my life, and now I'm 48 years old and feel 65 or 70 most days, once in a while I might get a day were I feel 50, those would be my good days.
Having custody of our grandson gives me somthing to do, and that is a good thing, sometime's I get too wore out when I have both of them, cause the older one is walking now, and is constantly getting into thing's but he brings me so mush joy. At
least now I feel I have a perpose for being here. I have a couple of teenage step children that push my stress level at times, they don't treat me the best sometime's
and my wife and I have had some trying times because of it. But I know she loves me,
and I do truely love her, and I let her know as offten as I can. Money is a big stress,
on us cause we live on my wife's wages, and it's tough but we always seem to make it
I know God is looking after us
. Just recently the place were she works had a layoff so she is only working 40 hrs a month, half of what it use to be. But we got her on unemployment for the weeks she does not work, so that will help. I can't believe that there are some people in this country that are getting ssd that do not deserve it, and people that really need have to fight for their life to get it, what's wrong with this picture?!!!. Oh I'm sorry I got to rambling on sometimes I do that. Again I just wanted to thank you for your reply. I hope you have a wonderful day Betty Boop!
your chronic pain
