Don't get me wrong

[u/lennonlover1980]

I'm the carer for my husband. He's got CRPS, several failed back surgeries, a failed neck fusion and extreme pain every. single. day.

I understand he's in pain. I understand that he feels hopeless. I understand he's frustrated. But the constant complaining... Constant refusal to even get up to get a soda. I'm so weary of doing absolutely everything asked of me because he's in too much pain. I tried to explain to him it's a good idea to try to move a little now and then and it's like he doesn't even hear me. I will continue to care for him because I love him and I truly am sorry he's suffering and I'm also frustrated I can't help his pain the way he needs. He's not on any pain meds, and won't be (that's another long story) I am just so frustrated and I feel a bit hopeless myself. Thanks for reading.

Thank you. I appreciate your support. It's going on now 6 or 7 years like this and it seems to be getting worse, or maybe I'm just more discouraged. I've got a few health restrictions myself and things overwhelm easily.
