I agree and understand the frustration. I too have gotten to the point of exhaustion with doctor visits, medications, IME's, x-rays, surgeries, needle injections and so forth. It is difficult to accept where we are today when thinking of where we were before. I too have a very hard time accepting the "today" part of it. My psychologist tells me that as long as I keep trying to get back what I can never have, I will never be able to find my new "today". My body has changed forever and I need to accept it and learn how to make the best of it whether I can work or not. (which right now I cannot)I have to find the good in what I do have, make the most of what my body allows me to do.

I am sure you don't want to hear this right now being upset and frustrated, but I am thankful I found this place and other forums to go to because I see that I am not alone, you are not alone, there are people who have struggled, been down the roads we are yet to travel and they are waiting to help us. With Thanksgiving coming this week, please try to let your anger, hurt and frustrations go for a bit, if you will be spending time with family and friends, embrace them and be thankful that you are here to enjoy them, despite all of the pain,medical treatments & WC/IC hoops.

Thinking of you and appreciating your feelings.

i think you are exhibiting some signs of depression.
I would ask your physician for a referral for some counseling.
life altering health issues and prolonged exposure to pain is a common cause of emotional and psychological issues.
professional treatment can prevent them from becoming chronic conditions.
