So do I. 😢
My mother has endometriosis and her doctors always said the pain was in her head. Like she was crazy, because it wasn’t a visible external problem.
My husband is exmilitary and his back gives him problems sometimes. Same with some ex military friends, one fell three stories onto his freaking head. He hasn’t been quite right since.
It sucks. You are always in pain and you just kinda get use to the pain.
You learn to deal with it because there is nothing anyone can do.
My example story: You tell a doctor and they give you opioids, then tell you to see a pain management “specialist”. Yeah like a pain management “specialist” would know anything about endometriosis, especially a guy.
There have been studies don’t that show patients lie about their pain level, mostly to get a doctor to notice. But unfortunately there are those who abuse the system, all because a doctor got them addicted.

Wow sorry didn’t mean to write a book for a response. I am just tired of the pain. I am starting to look forward to menopause.
