Struggling with Chronic Pain

I've been battling chronic pain for the last 6 months, and honestly, it's draining me. Nothing I do seems to bring any relief, and it's affecting my sleep and ability to keep up with daily tasks. I tried physical therapy last month, and while it helped a bit, the pain persists. My doctor is suggesting a series of steroid injections that sound intimidating. I just wish I could make it through each day without feeling overwhelmed by pain. The struggle feels isolating sometimes. I know my family tries to support me, but they don’t fully understand what I’m going through. My wife is handling the household duties mostly, and I feel guilty about not being able to contribute as much. I have a follow-up appointment on Wednesday, and I really hope we can come up with a plan that can help manage this. Could you pray for clarity about the next steps and that I find some relief soon? I want to be more present, especially for my kids, who need me. I just feel a bit lost right now, and any support would mean a lot. Thanks for lifting me up.
