What are you doing with a picture of my mother? well...
I have lived with chronic pain for years. I have a compressed spine and posterior tibial tendon displacement (tendons separating from bones on for shins.) I have to say yours is worse (sorry, guess that doesn't help much). the lower level chronic stuff you can adapt to. its the stabbing pains that come from an injury that will turn me into a baby. especially from an extremity.
why does it hurt more the futher away from the center of your body? like toes, fingers and wrists hurt more than ribs and stomaches etc. Or is it the size of the injury? a small injury (stubbing your toe really bad) is worse than a hard punch to the chest. Pain is weird... and curious. Hope you feel better soon.
