I have joined this group because I know what it is to live with pain. I am retired and am in constant pain this sometimes wakes me up at night and prevents me from doing everyday housework. II takes a lot of strength and courage to keep going and not become frustrated but it does not prevent me from appreciating the beauty I find around me.

Hi @LawRi8
It's great to meet you and you are very welcome to become part of our online community.
Yes I had to take early retirement a few years ago now I am in my early 50's so it was a blow
My pain & my other symptoms hit the roof & there was no way that I could carry on.
I loved my job but it was too much making things 100% worse.
Please please let me know if I can help you in anyway ????
Heres some info for you in regards to Chronic Pain on our website.
