Avoid Lengthy Bed Rest
People used to treat their suffering with the rest. With a new injury, a little rest is reasonable; however, doctors say that the lengthy bed rest won’t help with chronic pain. Lying for too long will hurt you more, not less. Too much bed rest can also reduce mobility and weaken muscles. Try staying active instead.
Keep Track of What Hurts
Pain is hard to put into words. However, you will need to describe your pain and associated symptoms to your doctor to get the best possible remedy.
Keeping a chronic pain syndrome journal can make it more concrete. Using a hypothetical scale from 0 to 10, note how much you feel pain each day. After a few weeks, you will have valuable data to share with your physician, making effective treatment more likely.
