Have you ever experienced chronic pain to the degree that you adjusted to the pain and it became an odd friend, of sorts?

Yup, me and my back. If you perceive it as an altered way to feel, it gives you the sense that it's under control. I don't know if I have a high pain threshhold or I adjust but it's better than being in a constant panic and/or dosing myself into oblivion.

Yes. I have that kind of pain in my upper back. The most medication does is reduce it to a dull ache.

There have been brief periods in my life when I had to adjust to chronic discomfort. If I'm in pain I tend to rail against it and do what I can to alleviate it. These episodes have not lasted long, thankfully..I know there are pain clinics that teach one to cope by visualizing things and being hooked up to a machine that gives biofeedback..I don't know if those are effective but I know I'd try everything. I don't like taking pills and I get very anxious if I have to take things like codeine or stronger stuff that can have bad side effects and to which one can become addicted! :)
