I have personally experienced chronic pain for over 10 years. At times, it has been so intense I couldn’t walk or change positions while sitting or lying down. It has affected my ability to get a good night’s sleep. I have gone for long periods of time without being able to exercise, stand or sit for any extended period. Mostly the aching just lingered enough that I was uncomfortably aware of it. As a nutritionist, I eat a healthy diet and maintain good sleep and exercise
