How to deal with pain
Quote From: uglyiestI too live with chronic pain. I have fibromylgia and degenerative disk disease. I also have rotary cuff tendonitis in my fight shoulder. Some days it is all I can do to get out of bed. I am in constant pain. I cannot take pain medicines, The doctor has tried me on about every one there is and they make me so sick I can't function at all. Right now my back is killing me and my whole body in general hurts. I don't know what else to try. I can't afford to go to the doctor too often.
I didn't know you could have surgery for a degenaritive disk.
Any ideas on how to deal with the pain when medicine doesn't work? Is just that, you deal. The less one focusses on it, the better. Distraction is the name of the game. Also, meditation, deep relaxation, etc. all help. Avoiding stress helps as stress makes everything worse.
There are no easy answers. I'm not trying to make it sound like there are. I truly understand the frustration.
Blessed be,
Morgan
