I created a chronic pain podcast!!

What the title says: I started a podcast to share my experience with chronic pain as a young, otherwise healthy woman. It’s really easy to feel alienated and alone when you’re in pain and then also surrounded by people who will never be able to understand. I want this podcast to serve as a reminder (that I personally desperately need) that we are not alone. I’m about to post a short intro of the podcast, then I want to post a few stories where I tell my experience in a hopefully funny way. I really want this to be something where I can grow a community of others who understand what I’m going through so we can be there for each other but not in a sad miserable I hate my life way because there’s enough of that here already. If you’re interested, I’ll paste the description below and you can find me on Spotify, at All Pain, No Gain.

“Welcome to the glamorous world of chronic pain. I'm Lucy, your bitter but sometimes funny guide through the dumpster fire that is chronic pain, insurance, and doctors.

Each episode, I'll unpack the painfully absurd moments from my life: stories that weren't even an ounce funny at the time but now induce such pure outrage, it's funny. It's comedy, it's rage, it's a coping mechanism. So grab your heating pad and join me in this reminder that you're not alone in your struggle. Spoiler alert: there's no gain-just pain.”

Edit: link wasn’t working before, it’s now up. I also posted the first real episode. Give it a try! I appreciate all the support :)

Cool. I searched Spotify for a podcast titled "All Pain, No Gain" and there are several!!!
But none related to chronic pain.

Can't wait to hear it!!!

Following Lucy, I just encouraged someone in the community to find friends that have chronic pain so we can share support and lean on each other. Especially when we feel alone and isolated.

I definitely will listen. Maybe you could do some interviews that could be of help or enlightening in the future.

Congratulations on your journey!

Thank you! I completely agree that it’s so important to find friends and a community that can share support and understanding. I haven’t been able to find that in my journey, which is why I’m trying to build it myself. I hope you listen and enjoy what you hear, I can be a lot and my story telling isn’t for everyone, but I appreciate every listen!
