Julia Shaw Poet Rhyme

Pain

Pain

Trying to check my email today
I sit at my computer when I
Suddenly feel shards and rays
Up from my feet sharply pry

I rush for my pills to stop the awash
Of pain that I had not expected
It came on so fast that I was tossed
Into agony so deep it was never suspected

It seems to get worse day after day
Though meds I've been given
Docs don't have the guts to try and assay
The horrid world of pain that I live in

It seems new guidelines have been set
That keep docs from treating chronic pain
But their families won't feel bad I bet
They'll have relief from going insane

While the rest of us must try and go on
With our horrible lives forever
I wonder if life's worth this dreadful song
Should I try and pursue this vain endeavor

Truly in Christianity, I sincerely believe
And have paid all my many dues
I ask God this painful condition to relieve
But so far all my prayers are refused

Nor for pity do I beg of you
But what is the right answer
Must I endure such a life untrue
I would rather just die of cancer

Krish Radhakrishna February 7, 2020 at 11:44 AM From your description of what it is, I think you have plantar fasciitis! The sharp needle pain is at the heel, If right, I know how you exactly feel! cure is to move the ankle up and down, And break tiny tethers that have grown, Do this sitting at least 10 times a day, In a few weeks the pain will go away!! Krish Radhakrishna February 18, 2020 at 11:59 AM Sorry to hear that. Hope the doctors help you get better. DM and Fibromyalgia are a difficult combination. My best wishes! Julia Shaw February 7, 2020 at 7:31 PM Sorry but you are wrong. I have Fibromyalgia, total body pain, type 2 Diabetes, and Diabetic Neuropathy in feet and legs. Was on heavy narcotics but was abruptly withdrawn in 2017. Been suffering and going downhill since then. But thanks for your thoughts.
