Pain Diary
I believe I’ve figured out what is wrong with me. I have central sensitization of pain. That’s why none of the nerve surgeries are working. The injury to my ilioinguinal and/or genitofemoral nerves caused my CNS to be in a constantly hyperactive state, and thus I will always be in pain even if the original injury is taken away. That is why I cannot get better. My body will no longer let me.
The only thing I can do now is to try and live out the rest of my days as comfortably as possible. I have a long way to go. I’m only 34, so I’ve got about 40-45 years of suffering ahead of me. Having any sort of quality of life is out of the question. I just have to try and live as comfortably as possible. My life is gone.
