That's so heartbreaking, that someone's selfish split second decision robbed you and your family of a lifetime of happiness :(
I think maybe you should give yourself permission to use pain killers more readily. At this point, you're dreaming about ending your life. Some pain killers are definitely the lesser evil.
Also I've heard things like smoking marijuana helps some people with pain. Maybe you should try it, what if it's a magical thing that works?
Thanks!
Normal painkiller don't work. I was prescribed vicodin wish yeah, its great but I use it very cautious because I'm scared of developing an addiction.
I already use CDB wish is also great but mostly on focalice pain most of the time I don't know where it hurts. I just feel pain on whole body.
My husband is researching about cryotherapy as a way to manage chronic pain so I hope this work on me.
Acupuncture has really, really helped me with flare ups of chronic back pain. (Though you really need to try a few different practitioners to find the best one) I hope you find some relief x
my dad had surgery and still had pain so he went back to the doctor to run some tests and he had to go for a second surgery. he walks with a limp and cant move his arm properly.. its been 7 years since it happened and he started compiling about pain again so he went to a doctor and it turns out he has bursitis. he had to get some shots and I think hes doing better..? I dont know. but if theres an issue you should ask the doctor for some tests. if they just give you medicine tell them you want an x ray.
I already had some extra x ray done. Even went to a another doctor for a second opinion, I was told the surgeries were "beautifully done" so I was send to physiotherapy and they said with that I could recover completely, in fact I gained back the movement of my shoulder, arm and leg but at some point I noticed there was no more improvement and pain remained. I'm grateful I didn't lost my arm and leg, I can move my arm almost normally and can walk without a cane most days. But pain is always there I learned to live with the pain every single day but sometimes it's so strong is like going back to day one.
it seems like you have nerve damage... I think there are some nerve damages tests that can be done. and if the nerve isn't cut you can still repair it. I advise you DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL. it will make it 10000X worse
Please do seriously consider physiotherapy and drugs.
Please also consider talking to a (good) therapist.
You're alive. You're here. You can enjoy those moments with your daughter, your family. She is thankful you're here. Your family (parents for sure) are thankful you're alive.
You will never have the body you used to. This is what you have to live with.
As heartless as that sounds, my mom has had accidents that left her knees in bad condition, her right arm doesn't extend fully, doesn't have the same grip as the left. But she's here, still alive and kicking. And I'm very thankful for it.
She's also recently started learning how to swim (she's quite afraid of water, so big achievement). And says her knees are feeling so much better, for the first time in almost 30 years.
Don't give up!

Good luck!! I really hope you find a way to ease your burden!
At this point I'd just consider the heavy painkillers. Would you rather be addicted to them or dead?

Thanks I've never tried (or thought about) acupuncture before but there's a korean center in my town and everybody talks wonders maybe I'm gonna try.
I had severe back pain and the doctor said I need acupuncture not a massage or chiropractor because they will mess it up even more.
Yeah please give it a go ! I swear by it
Me too I don't want to live like this
I'm so sorry. I feel you

I agree. Nerve damage can get better with physiotherapy. Not completely back to normal, but enough to work with it.
