What is pain?

Pain is a sensory and emotional experience that is unpleasant. It can be a debilitating condition but pain can be managed and kept under control.


Why Do People Experience Pain Differently?

The perceptions and emotions of a person play an important role in how they experience pain. Although pain is real and physical different people will experience pain differently.


How do I manage pain?

Whether your pain is from an old injury, cancer treatments, arthritis or fibromyalgia it can be managed. The first step is making an appointment with your doctor. The first course of action is to determine the cause of the pain and evaluate which pain management method is most effective for it. Pain Management should aim at treating both the mind and body. Pain should be managed by approaching it both emotionally and physically. Chronic pain medication can be effective in pain management. However, it should not be the only option used.


Medications

There are various medications used to manage pain. However, uploads, other narcotics, and benzodiazepines may not be the best options. This is because there are no good studies on long-term use of opioids for pain management. Types of chronic pain medication used include NSAIDs, Acetaminophen, Steroids, Antidepressants and Anti-seizure medications.


Therapy

Therapy can be aimed at both the body and the mind.

  • Physical therapy: Exercise, when done incorrectly, can worsen pain. A physical therapist should be consulted in order to develop a correct exercise plan. Exercising in the proper way progressively builds your tolerance and reduces your pain.
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy: This approach allows you to learn what pain is and better understand it.

Other pain management options include:
  • Meditation
  • Heat and cold therapy
  • TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) therapy
  • Relaxation techniques
  • Biofeedback, which teaches control over muscle tension, heart rate, temperature, and more
  • Manipulation and massage
  • Visual imagery, as simple as picturing a peaceful scene, for example
