So I came across this article in wikiHow and I thought that it pretty much hit the nail on the head. It explains what a chronic pain sufferer is going through very well and says the things that I find difficult to say to family and friends.

I would definitely recommend to read it if you are a chronic pain sufferer, like myself, and to also share it with those near and dear to you.
