[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 211673, member: 4040"] You're not alone...I understand. I think our bodies and minds work so closely together that when one hurts, the other does, too. When I was having so much trouble with carpal tunnel, it was like all I could do was hold my hands still and cry, and not being able to do what I could normally do made me depressed, which made my hands hurt more, which made me more depressed... And this recent bout I'm just coming out of. I blew my knee out in June. It hurt to walk, to stand, even to sit if my leg wasn't positioned just right. I couldn't sleep more than a few hours at a time, because I'd kick and wake myself up because my leg hurt. I got depressed because I wasn't comfortable, which made things hurt more... What I'm not sure of is which comes first. Was I depressed, and that made me more sensitive to pain and affected my ability to heal? Or was it the physical injuries that caused the depression?
