    Managing chronic pain is an industry in itself. And I don't know if you're in the US the UK or somewhere else because all of that makes a difference. I am in the US and we are in an opiate addiction crises here. And because of that rules, guidelines and laws are being passed everywhere without the consideration of chronic pain patients. So consequently these pain patients are not getting the opiates that they've been on to control their pain. And many have even got to the point of committing suicide because they can't stand the pain and no doctor will give them the medicine they need.

    So as you can see trying to control pain is difficult. And unfortunately in the US pain does not seem to be considered a disease itself but addiction does. Go figure.

    One way I manage my pain other than using opiates was to join chronic pain groups. They give you support and you even get ideas from others on what others have tried. There are a few on Facebook if you use Facebook some of them are great some of them have little activity. There is also a group that I belong to that has nothing to do with Facebook and I think it's awesome. Groups are places to go and vent when you're really hurting or to offer your support when someone else is hurting. I cannot post the name of that site on here for it will be deleted by the monitors. However if you would like the name of that group I'd be happy to email it to you. Just let me know if you want it.

    BTW I have never heard of microcirculation. Can you tell me what it is?
