None of us like to see people in pain or suffering. It is often very difficult to visit a nursing home because of all the sadness, sickness and suffering that you see. As a parent it is difficult to see your children get injured. We can fix them up, but we still feel badly for them. When one of your loved ones suffers from chronic back pain, you can often feel helpless and at times hopeless in the situation just as the person experiencing the pain. Chronic back pain is more of a permanent thing, that won't go away. Not only the person experiencing the pain goes through the ordeal, but the family suffers as well. This article will share what it is like to be an eye witness account of someone who suffers with chronic back pain.

Suppose when you first got married, that you had the ideal marriage. You did many things together and had great fun. Let me tell you, chronic back pain can put a stop to the fun days. My spouse and I never fought, we actually even would think the same thoughts and speak them out, before the other would even ask the question. It is kind of weird, but I guess you could call us soul mates. Even though we had both been married before, and both had children, we decided to have a child of our own, and she is a beautiful, healthy, fun loving joy for both of us. Unfortunately, chronic back pain has kept the one parent from participating in many of the family functions and events that will some day be priceless.

Chronic back pain can change a person's whole personality; at least it did in my case. One moment the spouse is doing fine and the next they are irritable and grumpy and usually likes to keep to themselves. They will often spend days in bed without eating or visiting with the other spouse and child. Depression sets in and it actually puts a gloom and doom mood in the home. I have to do a lot of the things the other spouse should be doing. I try to spend extra time with our daughter to make up for times lost with the other parent. A person with chronic back pain usually takes pain meds, but in our case of over 12 years now, the usual pain meds don't work like they did in the beginning and it takes more of them to try and accomplish the job it used to.

Pain meds are helpful, but they don't take away the chronic back pain and it may leave the person not thinking clearly. They may fall asleep like my spouse right in the middle of eating or drinking and the final result will be spilling their food all over. It breaks my heart to watch my spouse get worse as time passes, and this is extremely hard for our daughter. I will admit there are times when I feel angry about what the chronic back pain is doing, not only to my spouse, but the family as well. I have empathy for anyone who lives with a chronic back pain sufferer.
