Pain entangles its miserable ache around unguarded and defenseless bone. Its thorny vines stab with fiery malice, callously slicing and stinging into sinew and flesh.
Agony slithers through tissues, squeezing and constricting as it advances. It seeps its acid venom into every joint, ravaging body and soul.
Suffering tears muscle into jagged, throbbing pieces of bitterness and hopelessness. It splits them into fragments of anguish and torment.
Torture flows into every vertebrae, binding and tethering until virtually immobile. It cements every inch, provoking sharp excruciation if opposed.
Pretending to be a functioning adult is exhausting 
I cannot imagine. I hope you find relief soon.

Oh no, I have a friend who has fibromyalgia and a husband with chronic aches and pains, but they are both much older than you! It must be exhausting!

My father lived for twenty years with chronic pain. Seeing him suffer made me better appreciate what people go through. I hope there are some solutions on the horizon for you.

Thank you. I do too. It’s been 23 years for me. And I’m only 37 😦

Your writing couldn’t capture the pain any better. Every word you selected contributes to the meaning. So sorry to hear of this pain.

Thank you. Very carefully chosen words. I sat and really examined what the pain feels like. To me. Someone else, even with similar problems, would write something totally different.
