I suffer from chronic pain from an auto accident to my left wrist and arm after surgery to both areas.?
I have had this pain for 8 years now with no relief from doctors. I have been told that I have nerve damage and I am considered partially disabled. With pain that is stopping me from getting back in to the work force. I have been denied disability because I am partially disable. I am at my wits end, is there any help out there for people partial disability’s to get some type of relief from chronic pain and help finding a job for persons with physical disabilities. When you have been told from vocational rehab the reason people with disabilities don’t get jobs is that the tell they have one. I do have one that impaires my life forever and I am not considered to be disable but I can’t get get relief from pain or find sutible work. It is getting to the point I wonder if i am better off dead…..really it has been a hard 8 years trying to survive with kids and not be able to provide for them like you use to before my auto accident……Help is needed Please
It is really hard to try other therapy’s with out medical insurance. I found a job about three months ago and could not fulfull the job requirements because of the chronic pain. I have one now but it is only one day a week. I have had that one for 4 years but that is not enough to survive on.
Have you tried acupuncture, massage therapy, integrative manual therapy, counseling?
Have you thought about starting your own business and working from home?
Have you read “The law of attraction” by Ester and Jerry Hicks?
It talks about how our thoughts create our reality. If you go out there thinking that you won’t get a job because you are disabled, you won’t get one. I am sure that there are companies who hire people such as you.
There are alternative pain relief methods that may be helpful for you to explore. Do check out massage, and polarity therapy and accupuncture and accupressure. I know people who swear by the copper bracelets they wear for arthritic pain. I wore one for a while and got some relief.
Since no one can actually see pain, no one can actually say how bad your pain is except for you. Do whatever it takes to find the right doctor who will help you manage your pain levels and perhaps restore a useful quality to your life.
Oh, try one of the pain clinics in your hospital center area, generally they are for back pain, but the also work for pain in other parts of of the body.
