Can anyone relate to this?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I can but not anywhere on the scale that you described.

Some days I am on a 10 on that scale but that is rare. Usually I hang out around a 5-6. Mine is spine and joint related. But I started taking some MoveFree (think that's what it's called) and been feeling not as bad w my hip pain.

I have a implanted neurostim for my back (hence I am technically a cyborg) but the coverage is less than comprehensive. I know how pervasive pain can be in getting the most simple things done.

Hope your situation improves.
