Pain Huxrts Feel Mentalx

[Crystallmatters]

I am concentrating on pain distraction and hurting like mad. You know I feel like this challenge is too much most of the time. Today I am trying to work out why does my pain come and go so quickly, I think it really make it difficult to deal with, I feel like this effects my mood so much, depending on the amount of pain I am in really adjusts my thought process. It is tiring in its self, so add the pain and bingo, I am going crazy, take some medication and extra to help. I am all over the place my brain like a car out of control.

I have to work hard at thinking all positive thoughts and in this moment I think, what's going on am I experiencing Chronic pain or real pain, well which ever it is effecting my thoughts, I am fighting to regain my balance.

So why does Pain not just stay switched on all the time why does it deliberately move around to torture me more. Yes I win again but it is hell, Its like now as I type this I am in loads of pain but I am excepting it sort of in a pissed off way,

So I ask you all , do you go in and out of pain ? and the levels changing all the time?.

Love to you all , I just want you to know you are not alone we are survivor's still mastering this horrible experience. xxxxxx

Hi Crystallmatters

It's certainly common for pain levels to change. Though I know this still makes it an unpleasant experience. For me, pacing and movement helped me manage my pain levels more, and to have less pain flare ups. There are some good explanations in the 'manage your pain' leaflet here: painconcern.org.uk/product/...

I'll leave your post up in case others would like to share what helps them to manage their pain levels.

You may also like to read this leaflet on pain and emotions: painconcern.org.uk/product/...

I hope today is a lower pain day for you.

Hi maybe a rieview with doc may help ,or a referal to a pain nurse or senior ot It is a vicious circle

And mood does come into it etc

Maybe draw a vicious circle with all the positives and negatives on it ,to work on ,

Tools are good as well the cbt , if a challenge is too much take a step back ,trigger points try find wot raises the pain

For lots say out of 10

A good balance is 3 to 5
