I can’t take the pain anymore

Hi all
I am in pain 24/7, I’ve had 24 operations in 28 years. I’m on a morphine type patch that my carer changes once a week. The problem is I don’t know where the pain is coming from so I can’t pin point. I’m on a waiting list for the pain team. What does everyone do when in pain that won’t go away?

There is a physical limit at which the pain simply cannot be felt any more above a certain level and the Pain Clinic can teach methods to reduce the pain generated. This may not be much to hang onto but there is little else I can suggest.
