Pain is My Middle Name

I am in pain all the time. I think it's from sitting in front of the computer all day long for the last 25 years. I have terrible neck/should/rotator cuff pain for the last 3+ years. Been to RA Specialist, Orthopedic Surgeons (yes, a couple), chiropractors (again more than 1), Nurologist, Internists, and OMD, and everyone said there was nothing wrong with me. I've had MRI, X-Rays, and so many blood tests that I lost counts. And yet, still no root cause found. The only name they could give my condition is 'Inflammation' or 'Tendinitis'. Muscle relaxer, anti-inflammatory medicines just make me blow up like a balloon with water retention. Never medicine made me feel like I was walking on clouds.

Dammn it! I hate this pain! I can't sleep well at night because any movement is painful. Consequently I am always tired. I think the doctor really needs to put me out on Worker's Comp! I have no doubt this is work-related injury. OK, so I need to get off the computer now because I am hurting as I type! I HATE THIS PAIN!
