You know it’s impossible to explain to someone that doesn’t have this pain how it hurts without sounding ridiculous, I mean when I tell someone I feel like a thousand people are putting out their cigarettes on me even I don’t believe it but it’s true.
Just be glad you’re not trying to explain it.

Manby of us are surviving because baclofen reduces our muscle spasms to a degree that helps us to live with some comfort. Many quads are living with profound pain caused by the long term irregular flow of spinal fluid post injury. Many of us have pain caused by near constant UTI's from internal catheters. There is no reason why quads should live in misery because someone else can't feel the pain that has become a constant companion in life. I agree it is wrong to abuse drugs, but no doctor would ask a patient to just grin and bear it. pain will kill you if you don't treat it. Your blood preasure shoots up, you stroke and your heart goes down and you die. Most quadriplegics can actually prove the medical value of marijuana as a short term nerve pain medicine. I doubt any of us are taking drugs we don't need.
