Sometimes I get fed up, and I do this. I can power through - sometimes for a few hours- and I almost feel like me again... Until I stop. I get the shakes and breathe too fast and I swallow panic while fighting the pain down again. I hate it.

Am young. Let me know how this goes.
okay I'll let you know. I'm predicting if I carelessly flail around like I did when I was a child, I'll end up throwing out my back or dislocating a shoulder, hip, knee. For reference, I can still do cartwheels but I notice the day after I've done a million cartwheels, my left knee feels like it did not appreciate the repeated stress of the landing impact.
Yes, but it won't solve anything. The root of my chronic pain turned out to be leaky gut caused by gluten intolerance.
I still have some pain since I gave up eating gluten, but the drastic reduction in pain and inflammation was life changing - no exaggeration. I was unemployed for over two years due to how bad it had gotten. Doctors were not helpful and cost me a lot of money for very little to show for it.
The causes of chronic pain are varied and many. One thing basically everyone with chronic pain can do to help is to read a book by a back surgeon who went through it himself (almost commiting suicide because of how bad it got). His name is Dr. David Hanscom and his book is called Back In Control. It may not solve your issues, but it will help you get them under control.
Through reading his book I gained enough mental clarity to be able to function again, and then I finally figured out the main cause of my issues (gluten). Gluten intolerance and autoimmune problems go hand-in-hand. Why my doctors couldn't have told me that several years ago is a mystery to me.
