Living With Chronic Pain – Spiritual Healing – Do You Have A Toothache?
There are many unsuspecting people all around you that suffer from chronic pain. Sometimes it’s really hard to tell because they might appear normal to the average eye.
Just because one might not use an assistive device, such as a cane or an oxygen tank, does not mean that he or she is not experiencing some form of painful suffering. In fact, I bet the numbers heavily favor several who deal with pain without having any form of aid.
As for myself, I still cope with chronic pain though I might seem very normal in the sense of being able to move around and function somewhat naturally. Some days are better than others. Yet, there are none in which I am physically pain-free.
Living with chronic pain is like having a permanent toothache. You know how this feels…When the throbbing pain continues like clockwork, never really giving up its rhythm. Throb after throb while you maintain a sense of normalcy by trying to disguise the painful impulses. Then if you were to drink a cold glass of water, for instance, these levels of pain would probably spike upwards, similar to someone who lives in chronic pain and experiences barometric changes in the weather. The painful results are eerily familiar.
Imagine if your body never fully responded to treatment to get rid of the toothache pain. What if it persisted fifteen years or more? What would you do?
As in my case, I’ve done nearly everything practical to nourish my entire being, including body, soul and spirit. The seemingly hidden pain sometimes surprises me and reminds me of its existence through means of nerve burning down both arms and legs, just to mention a few of the symptoms.
Frankly, I don’t dwell about the nature of chronic pain nor do I attempt to live in a masqueraded lifestyle about suffering because it quickly leads me down the wrong path to self-pity and self-preservation.
Instead, I literally get by myself and spend time with God. This is when I ask Him to take all the brokenness, pride and suffering from me, casting all my anxieties into His lap. This is my heart sacrifice given to Him by His grace. This process has allowed me to breathe in and out effectively, in terms of dealing with the core of my painful issues, instead of misprojecting them onto others.
Though my pain might remain, as is the usual, the rest of my being becomes refurbished, ready to brave to dream to live again. Understanding the burdens of each day fully empowers me to succeed for the race of tomorrow.
