I have heard this from people before, and it is total bullshit. I can smile, joke around, and even laugh all while being in terrible pain. I realised that after my doctor visit, in which I was very emotional and teary eyed, that when i went into the waiting room to schedule an appointment i was able to smile and joke around with the two front desk receptionists who were so friendly that they could put a smile on the sickest face. What I didn't realise until later was that there was a doctor standing in the distance watching my every fucking move to see if my pain was genuine. I don't know if that is what she was really doing, but I think it was. This is total bs. I feel like a doctors visit is a freaking inquisition. I am living proof that people in chronic pain can laugh and smile all while being in pain.
The reason I was emotional with the doctors was because I have to share very personal and intimate information with them, and that on top of the chronic pain just leads to emotional overload. When talking with normal every day people I can't get emotional, I have to be as jovial as possible! I think these doctors are really naive or something, because their witch hunt for drug seekers is fucking up their judgement!
Chronic pain people, can you laugh and smile all while being in pain?
