  • Post-Surgical Update and Body Image Issues

    HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO THE PAINFUL TRUTH OF LIVING WITH CHRONIC PAIN! Robby and Sammi would have never guessed that after starting their podcast that they would have not only found a doctor to help Robby with his neck pain, but that the doctor would be at the Mayo Clinic of all places AND that Robby would have been blessed with a corrective surgery before they even hit the one year mark. But thankfully, all of that is true, so today they share an update on how Robby is feeling 3 weeks post-surgery, plus he talks about some of his body image issues that he knows other people with chronic illnesses also suffer with.  Feeling uncomfortable in your skin is no joke, so he wants you to know that you are not alone, and shares what he does to help himself feel better, even if involves small steps or gains. Never give up! Go find Robby and Sammi on Instagram @thepainfultruthofchronicpain and share your story with them. They would love to get to know their listeners!

  • "Spidey Sense"

    Do you ever get that tingly feeling in your gut when you see a doctor that makes you feel uneasy? It's that sense that something isn't quite right that just makes you want to run to the hills as fast as you can. Robby and Sammi call this "Spidey Sense," and they certainly have had theirs on high alert since his botched surgery in 2018. Today, they share what kind of red flags they look for when seeing a new physician, including a personal story from several encounters with a surgeon who just never made them feel comfortable with his treatment plan. Plus, they talk about which doctors made them feel safe and cared for, and what it is about these physicians that sets them apart. Share your "Spidey Sense" stories with them over on Instagram @thepainfultruthofchronicpain.
