my back hurts.

As far as I can remember it always has.

I fall asleep with it hurting. I wake up with it hurting. I sit with it hurting. I stand with it hurting. I drive with it hurting. I sit here at this computer with it hurting.

Painkillers have little affect. Tylenol, motrin, aleve, they don't work.

Codeine cough syrup? a pleasant side affect. that works. But that is not a road I'm going down, but really sometimes I'm thankful for a racking cough that then requires the syrup.

Mostly I ignore it. A gift to have that ability I suppose. But really, one gets mentally tired of doing so and ignoring becomes unfeasable.

I've never told a dr. about it. Fearing what one so young with this kind of problem means.

Really I don't know.

All I know it that in the last month it has spread out from under my right shoulder blade to span across my back and over also under the left.

I want it to stop.

Cortazon, muscle relaxants, alcohol, I don't care.
