[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 390704, member: 1514"] Tell Jess that I think it is quite normal for people with chronic pain to have that stiff upper lip thing going on. We really cant sit around all the time moaning and griping to everyone about how awful we feel because it gets old even to us much less everyone we come in contact with constantly so we tend to just grin and bare it. I know I can be feeling like death warmed over and if someone asks me how I am, its just oh...Im fine...lol. I mean really, this past weekend I tripped in a hole and think I have torn something in my knee and I can hardly walk on it. I can limp with extreme pain from my bedroom to the kitchen and back again but if asked...oh Im okay...lmao. The pain docs asked me on Monday what my pain level was...I told them about a 5 all over but my knee was really hurting...about a 8 there! I just never complain. I dont cry. If I am crying, someone better really watch out because something is very very wrong. Tony has been with me in the ER before and I was in so much pain I had tears running down my face but I wasnt making a sound. He ran to the desk and told them they had to do something for me because I lived with chronic pain 24/7 and he had never seen my cry from it before. [/QUOTE]
