Chronic Pain Sufferers: What Pain Management Techniques do you use?
What is your medical condition that causes chronic pain for you?
What pain management techniques do you use for your chronic condition/pains?
Arthritis (wrists, thumbs)
Spinal Stenosis (narrowing of spinal canal)
Lumbar disintegration (disintegrating disks)
I use 800mg Ibuprofen as needed for daily pain.
On occasion I’ll use LorTab (hydrocodone) for emergent pain and to aid sleep on nights when it just won’t let me be. I have legal scripts for these from my physician.
But, mostly, I have developed a high pain tolerance, and prefer not to use drugs unless absolutely needed.
I also have several physical therapy excersizes that help strengthen areas to releive the cause of pain, rather than treating only the symptoms.
If you block the pain altogether, you run the risk of ignoring it and doing more damage. This can lead to even more pain in the long run. Pain is a signal that something is wrong. If you can treat what’s wrong, the symptoms will go away with the condition.
