Whether it is mild, episodic or continuous, chronic pain has
the capacity to disrupt your life. Being in constant pain can impair your focus and make
even simple tasks impossible to complete. While some people don’t think twice
before popping a pill, there are several ways to deal with the problem of
chronic pain without medication.
What is chronic pain?
If the pain persists for more than 12 weeks, it is called chronic pain. Chronic pain may continue for
months or years. The signals of pain remain active in the nervous system. Chronic pain may originate with an injury or infection, or from
chronic diseases like Osteoarthritis. Some people also suffer chronic pain in the
absence of any past injury or damage to the body.
Common symptoms
- Mild or severe pain
- Pain which may be described as burning, aching or “shooting”
- Prolonged feeling of discomfort. Soreness, stiffness and tightness.
- Fatigue
- Sleeplessness
- Feeling easily irritable or anxious
- Partial or complete disability
Managing chronic pain
1. Meditate regularly:
Deep breathing meditation techniques can help your body as a whole to calm
down. This may even decrease the sensation of pain and the tightness of the
muscles in the affected area.
2. Reduce stress: Stress
is known to intensify chronic pain. Negative feelings like depression, anger
and anxiety can increase the body’s sensitivity to pain. You have to control
stress if you want to manage chronic pain.
3. Exercise regularly:
Exercise helps to release endorphins in the brain. Endorphins help to create a sense of well-being while blocking out the sensation of pain. Exercise helps to
strengthen the bones and the muscles, which in turn reduces the risk of injury.
4. Avoid alcohol:
Drinking alcohol aggravates the impact of chronic pain on your sleep pattern.
Refusing to drink can have a positive effect on your life.
5. Join a support group:
A support group will give you access to the experience of other people facing
the same problem. This will help to put your own troubles in proper
perspective.
6. Stop smoking: It
has been shown to increase chronic pain. The smoke creates problem with blood circulation and increases the risk of heart disease. It may even lead to cancer.
7. Keep a pain diary:
You can keep track of how much pain you are experiencing. You can record the
pain level on a 1 to 10 scale. The diary will help you find out any pattern in
the feeling of pain. Your doctor will gain much information about your
condition through the diary.
8. Get massage: Massage
can help to reduce stress and relieve tension in the muscles. It is usually used
to get temporary relief from chronic pain.
