Does pain aggravate you?

The worse pain I ever felt is triggered by a toothache. It strikes at night in which I am as helpless as a kitten on the tree. No pain reliever is available. I make use of a toothpaste but to no avail. I kept on crying for I was a kid at that time. My parents assured me that it would be gone soon when I get to sleep. I answer them back how could I go to sleep for the pain is killing me. It keeps me conscious and sleeping is impossible. I just stay calm and focus my thought of relieving from it soon until I fall asleep. As I wake up on the following day, I take the shower, eat my breakfast and ready myself to see the dentist.

I don't actually feel mad with my body when I feel pain. I just hate it when I feel pain since I get limits with the things that I have to do, worst is that I can't do anything but to just lie down in bed and sleep the entire day, well depending on the pain I guess. Recently, I had a toothache and I've stuck to bed for almost 2 days since I had migraine attacks as well because of that toothache. I always wanted to just sleep for me not to feel pain since I don't take medicines that's why I have to stick with organic alternatives and if they don't work, then I'll just have to relax myself and get some sleep. I really don't want feeling pain, but physical pain is tolerable for me than emotional pain, that I can't bear.

It does aggravate me somewhat. It keeps me from doing things that I used to be able to do and things that I want to do. I've started to accept that chronic pain is part of my life, and now I'm working to adjust to it. Sometimes, I do feel a bit out of sorts at having to plan my day around my pain level. It just wears me out after a while.

I don't want to feel sorry for myself or complain about it all the time though. It's just something I need to continue adjusting to. There is always someone else that's worse off than I am.

I have to write this, I have been in some really bad pain in back for the last couple of weeks. I went to the hospital, which I hate doing, and they told me that sciatica nerve was inflamed and gave me antibiotics and muscle relaxers for the pain. I hate to take any kind of medication and only take them when I really have to. Therefore I am still in a quite a bit of pain, and I guess it is my blood pressure maybe. I get mad at my body for hurting so bad, call me crazy, but it just hurts too much to even walk and it doesn't even feel like the medication is working. Does anyone else get mad at their body for making you feel so bad, or is that just me?
Hello audrinaa, I also suffer from Sciatica Nerve Pain. Sorry you are not feeling well. The medication I was prescribed didn't feel as though it helped me either. I felt so physically exhausted from the pain I didn't even want to move. Ice packs, exercise, and anti inflammatory's seemed to help the best for me. Even though you don't feel like walking you should try a little exercise because it does help with the pain.
