Smile, so sorry to hear of your pain. Having gone thru my first medical issues with a lot of pain, i so much sympathsize and emphasize with those who are in constant pain. It can just overwhelm your life. I too have learned to live with some pain and pretty soon it just becomes normal..like my dad always said, if your arm is hurting,drop a hammer on your toe, your toe will hurt so much you won't feel the pain in your arm!! So I try to focus on something else and that helps to forget about the pain. And hopefully you will see light at the end of the tunnel - when you are all healed and casts are gone so goes the pain!
