Distract Yourself From Pain
Distraction is a bad thing, right. But not in this case. Distraction in chronic pain syndrome can be a type of treatment.
According to studies, when you are distracted by the book, a conversation, a crossword puzzle, or something else, the specific areas in your brain that process pain becomes less active. Studies have also proven that even on a neurological level, getting your mind off your discomforts and aches does help.
