why are we left to suffer is what I want to know. narcotics are the only thing that help breakthrough pain, but I’m limited to a minimal amount: one a day. which is what I do but that means I must suffer unnecessarily. it’s cruel! this healthcare system is terribly broken. #wheelchair #crippledlife #crippled #handicapable #hospitallife #hospital #painmanagement #physician #disabled #disabledtiktok #disabilitytiktok #pain #hurt #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicpainwarrior #chronicpainlife #chronicpainawareness #ill #illness #sickdays #chronicillnessawareness
