      I can’t say I found the GIFT of being pain free. Stretching may help some. I’m in pain 24/7. I just hit my head and broke my neck in 5 spots. They fused c4-T1. I have scoliosis 57 degree curve and I have broken my lower back 2X. Just know your not alone.

      I did a travel assignment in Alabama in Montgomery. There are many pain clinics there. Don’t know if that helps.

      I’m from Alabama, diagnosed with Vasculitis and I’m hurting more than ever. No one seems to listen

      I'm in Texas and can relate to you in almost all of what you said. I know that just having a friend who understands who will talk and or listen is a good distraction. I know a few things that have worked for me.
