Dh had a big birthday last week. Today he’s gone out with all our friends to celebrate. I can’t go as I have chronic pain . I’ve been in severe pain for 4 months and have had pain for more than two years. I’m on strong opiates, off sick from work and struggle to be out of bed for more than a few hours. My life has got very small. I know it will get better and it takes time and that’s there’s people a lot worse off then me but today I just want to be able to go out and have fun. I feel like I’m 80 years old.
