Chronic pain....embarrasement? WTF?

[mrdevious]

I saw a really cool cane at Sport's Chalet a few days ago. Actually, it was supposed to be a hiking stick, but it was a cane - a really sturdy, collapsible one. It telescoped down to about 12", so it would be a lot less conspicuous to carry when you didn't need it.

That sounds pretty cool, I might actually check that out. Thanks man.

i can understand this very well; i deal with chronic pain but it is not outwardly obvious; people get nervous when you are in pain around them; perhaps they fear some unknown terror to come on them, maybe you don't fit the status quo; can't rock the boat
