I despise it, can't stand pain, horrible thing

You're still human then.

Which thankfully is a temporary thing. The resulting pains in the ass that live with you for 20+ years afterwards, well that's another story. I've just been introduced to the wonderful world of chronic pain. Hurrah. It sucks that it's something that will now be with me all the time, sometimes WORSE.

back pain?

I'll be gentle.

Sorry to hear that.

It does get better in due time. Not the chronic pain, but the coping with it.

I agree. Pain hurts!

Yeah, osteoarthritis. Hurts from sitting, which I do for work. So now I'm all apprehensive about working and I've got a big project coming up which I can't turn down because financially it's amazing, but I will be seeing my doctor about pain relief during the next 6 months for it. I have a kneeling chair which helps a bit.

perhaps the MOST comfortable/expensive chair could help?

the advice to me has been to avoid sitting basically

I can't really afford one of those $800 chairs offices buy. I have a $300 chair with a lumbar support, it will have to do.

what about medication? you know, legal drugs that basically masquerade the pain for some long hours...

oh ok! nuthin' to worry about then, welcome to the wonderful world of legal chemicals

Have a look at ur diet & increase ur water & calcium, vit D, magnesium, zinc, glucosamine, chondroitin, evening primrose, omega3 intake. Start some chi or qi exercises (tai chi, qigong, yoga (do not exercise in the rain)) & some meditation. keep away from baths & stick to showers. try some massage too (stimulate the chi).

This will help, good luck.

Neither do I.
my pain barrier just below the lower limit.
I fainted when doctors pulled out my tooth .... with anesthesia.
it sucks.
respect for the brave and patient people.

Just use your "safety" word.
