My new hip works really well now that I have spent four (MORE) months in physical therapy, but the pain is still there.
Have you met Lestat? He has lots of experience in pain management. On second thought, maybe you shouldn't.
I do not know who Lestat is.
I, as well, have a great deal of experience in managing pain.
But, mostly, I find that the pain itself can manage quite well on its own. It has proven to be a highly qualified, high bidding self-starter, always finding a way to make itself a contender, attempting to be the center of every event, often taking the floor over more vociferous litigants, antagonists and agonists all while wearing mostly conservative earth tones or pastels.
