So I changed my name to Les. - Steven Wright Roller Coaster Days Having chronic pain can seem like being on a roller coaster, at least in the beginning. One day we're able to go for a walk, work a full day or even exercise, and the next day we're paralyzed...When our pain no longer controls us and we begin to manage it, our ride will come to an end. We will discover there can be a balance in managing our pain. We will come to know our limitations and our strengths and weaknesses. We will discover we have more control over managing our pain that we once thought.
