So what started quite a few years back with carpel tunnel syndrome and what I though was aches & pains of growing older.... I haved recently been diagnosed with Neuropathy in my legs, arms and back. Anyone else suffer from chronic nerve pain? How are you coping?

A lady I worked with had chronic pain,and she somehow would get through her day,and did her job well.Some of the time she would medicate in order to cope with it a little better. When she was on her meds,she was very jolly and friendly,but her writing skills would just fall apart...I'm not really much of an advocate for medication,but at times they really can give you some relief,and improve your quality of life.
I had back problems,that lasted for years,and tried everything,and nothing seemed to really work. I finally tried a massage therapist.
She was a very well trained German lady,who was about 65 at the time.
She took one look at me and said "I can fix you"..she said it would take three sessions,but two was enough,and I have had no back problems since that time,and it has been about 15 years.
I think for pain,the main thing is to try different approaches,and try not to rule out anything within reason,and it never hurts to get good professional advise.
