Hi deicher82. Welcome to PC!
I have two different sources of chronic pain. One is injuries, broken bones and that sort of thing. The other is from fibro. I will not take narcotics. I can't function in life if I do.
I try to deal with the pain without meds. I will take ibuprofen sometimes, but have to be careful how much I take due to stomach issues.
things that help me...
- wrapping up in a heated throw
- soak in a tub of hot water. I add something called Batherapy to relieve the aches.
- some times gentle stretching like yoga helps. Other days it makes things worse. Go figure!
- cuddling with my animals. Doesn't really do anything for the pain, but takes my mind off it.
And this is probably not all that helpful. There are days I just grit my teeth and try to ride it out.
