Chronic pain patient wanting to learn about Buddhist ideas re: pain

Hi! I'm in my early 30s. When I was 15 I started hurting and never stopped, and it took a decade to get any kind of diagnosis. A couple of years ago there was a really promising treatment that helped, and I let myself hope for a normal life, but it didn't work out. I will probably be in pain for the rest of my life, not able to work or do a lot of things, and I'm grieving a bit due to the dashed hopes.

What I know of buddhism's views on pain are really interesting. Can somebody point me towards some resources where I can read / learn more?
