ok the reason for this thread is I noticed a lot of people who suffer moderate to severe pain. people empathise and it's really appreciated but no one understands chronic pain more than one who suffers. any one can post support etc. but I hope all of us that suffer can support each other through the good and bad times. please if you suffer a lot of pain feel free to post, maybe together we can help each other. mike as a way to be consistent we'll measure the pain on a scale of 1-10
