The Show Life without sax?  Oh, no! I haven't been able to play my baritone saxophone for a few weeks.  I'm bummed and worried. I often speak about my health goals: progress as slowly as possible, don't fall, don't mess with my pathological optimism, and continue playing the baritone saxophone.  I haven't been able to play due to issues with my back, decreasing mobility, and the weight of the big 25-pound horn hanging around my neck. I've been playing an average of an hour a day for the past 18 months. The more I play, the more equipment I accumulate and lug around.  One place I rehearse weekly has 2 flights of steep steps.  It's been getting more difficult and riskier to climb those stairs. I know that I could get band mates to haul equipment for me. That's not the problem. I haven't been able to stand and play for 15 years. I sit. But I spent the last couple of weeks not able to sit for more than 15 minutes at a time. If I can't sit and hold the sax with a shoulder harness, I can't play. What are my options?

Don't let your chronic pain trap you, and don't let others make you feel guilty for hurting.When we’re faced with pain, our impulse is to stop it and get rid of it. Sarah Anne Shockley discovered the area between her clavicle and first ribs had collapsed in 2007. She tried everything she could to rid herself of the pain, but nothing worked. With no solution in place, she focused on living life as best she could. She endured the pain and tried medications. She refused to believe that she had to live in chronic pain for the rest of her life. Since external treatments didn’t help, Sarah Anne looked inside. She found she was living with a lot of emotional distress regarding her physical pain, upset that she couldn’t participate fully in her life. There is a lot of shame and guilt connected to chronic pain. Outside sources find clever ways to tell you you’re wrong for having your pain.  Pain is a signal that something is amiss. Giving it appropriate attention can help you live with the  pain. People still need you and still love you. Be present with them as best you can with your pain. Recognizing that you can contribute to the pleasure of others can be very healing. Listen as Sarah Anne joins host Lisa Davis to share how she has lived with and moved beyond chronic pain.

In the twenty-first century, one might wish that pain were an easily treatable nonissue. It is not. Millions of doctor and emergency room visits stem from pain, and addiction to pain medications, rampant in the United States, often takes root in an attempt to manage unremitting discomfort. In The Pain Companion: Everyday Wisdom for Living With and Moving Beyond Chronic Pain(New World Library, June 12, 2018), author Sarah Anne Shockley, who has personally lived with chronic pain since 2007, offers fellow pain sufferers a compassionate and supportive guide for living with pain that can be used alongside their ongoing medical or therapeutic healing programs “I cannot know your personal suffering, of course; only you can,” writes Sarah. “But I do understand the experience of being in significant and relentless pain for long periods of time, and I understand the fear, sadness, and frustration associated with long-term physical debilitation. So I can say that this book has been written from inside of pain, a perspective on the experience and the healing of pain that we are seldom offered.” YouTube video w Q&A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncr7WUVzEpc https://www.thepaincompanion.com/ ---------------------------------------- Early bird pricing for the 2018 Afterlife Awareness Conference Live Stream has been extended until September 6.

Aired Wednesday, 18 July 2018, 8:00 PM ETSarah Anne Shockley – The Pain CompanionGrowing up in the fifties and sixties, my mother was a great source of practical wisdom. Once I developed a toothache over a holiday weekend. The dentist was unavailable and I was having difficulty processing the pain. In her wisdom, my mother said, “Relax. The pain will fade in a few hours and you will be able to manage until the dentist returns.” She was right and I was fortunate. When it comes to physical pain, especially chronic pain, there are many who are less fortunate.According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, 100 million Americans suffer chronic pain. Compare that with the 25.8 million who are dealing with diabetes and 16.3 million experiencing heart disease. The estimated cost of health care and lost wages to pain treatment is 800 billion dollars. Add to that the tragedy of those who become addicted to pain medications and the outlook is quite grim.What if there was another way to look at chronic pain and in doing so come to terms with it? My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Sarah Anne Shockley, did just that. In the Fall of 2007, she contracted Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), which is a collapse of the area between the clavicles and first ribs, and has lived with debilitating nerve pain ever since. She has been a columnist for Pain News Network and is a regular contributor to The Mighty, a 1.5 million–member online community for those living with chronic illness and pain. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and you can visit her online at http://www.ThePainCompanion.com. She joins me this week to discuss her new book, The Pain Companion.
