If you are a chronic pain sufferer is the cause of your pain "invisible" (nobody can see the curvature of my spine/tailbone by glancing at me. I'm not in a wheelchair yet)? Has anyone ever doubted that you are a chronic pain sufferer for this reason?
The cause of my chronic pain is visible, and people have still doubted its legitimacy

As a chronic pain sufferer (have been my entire life; I am fighting to keep from getting opioid dependent as I have already gone through fetanyl withdrawal around age 22mo when I was on ECMO which is life support. I am on lyrica 2-3x a day, but it is nothing compared to cannabis. I live in a med/rec legal state, but have to be creative about delivery of my medicine due to my throat---severe Gerd/hiatal hernia/esophageal dysphagia eliminates my ability to smoke or dab. I do medibles and drinks. ***I am not suggesting or endorsing illegal medicating***) I ask that other Tellwutters read this article. (https://themighty.com/2016/09/pain-awareness-month-what-people-with-chronic-pain-want-you-to-learn/). Do you plan on reading?
