Pain Pain go away

Pain is far from fun. With mum experiencing it more post-op and during treatment I’ve had to help guide her with some ideas as I live with chronic pain. Things like pacing, distraction, and sensory relief (in my case things that are soothing for me) can help my experience of the pain so it doesn’t interfere as much and I don’t have to take as many pain meds. If you can afford it then some people do find medicinal CBD/THC helpful, and if long term then maybe linking with a pain clinic might be helpful. The pain clinic near me is fabulous and helped me work out what meds worked for me, gave me some other ideas, and at one stage I had a ketamine infusion which helped reset my pain sensor cells so since the infusion I’ve required less pain medication. Given one of my conditions I have physio weekly and that in combination helps. Happy to expand. My worst days I can barely get out of bed for the toilet, though that’s less often now, and I can’t focus properly so I listen to audiobooks or music in a dimly lit room.
