You& Your i Health Chronic rain There are several disorders or chronic diseases that carry along with them the symptom of pain. Some of these include arthritis, tension headaches, angina, sickle cell anemia, low back pain, etc. With some disorders, pain becomes a problem that one has fre quently, sometimes contin uous or may have to live with for a lifetime. Pain is described as a sensa tion in which a person experi ences discomfort, distress, or suffering, due to provocation of sensory nerves. Pain is one of the cardinal symptoms of inflammation. In most cases, pain stimuli are harmful to the body - they often indicate that something is wrong or not Just functioning properly. Pain tends to bring about reactions W.. « a_. a- -a itself. Adaptation to pain sti muli does not occur easily. There are some things that can be dooe to help relieve pain (along with taking medi cations). First of all, one must realize that although others can try to help, only you can make yourself feel better. Your doctor and family can give advice and support, but you have to assume responsi bility for relieving your pain and taking an active role in managing the problem. Next try to decrease the amount of medication you take. Pain relievers often times are abused or overused. After you have taken a pain medication for a long time, your body develops tolerance, so the drug no longer provides relief. It may make you feel better, but this is because your body has become dependent cm the medication. Instead of stopping the medication abruptly, slowly reduce the amount that you take, giving your body a chance to get used to being without the medica „ tion. Then focus on your activi ties rather than your pain. Try to stop thinking and talking about how much your hurt, it will only make you feel worse. Become more active, thinking and talking about what you’re doing will help take your mind off your pain. If you have a disorder or illness that pre vema you irum increasing your activity (such as walk ing) you want to take on new less strenuous activities or bobbies - to get your mind off the pain. It has been found that stress or tension will enhance pain. A quiet environment that is rela tively free of stress is usually difficult to find but you must sometimes take time out to be alone and away from the stress of day to day living. Remember that only yo can make yourself fed better. Keep your out-of-town friends informed on what’s happening in Charlotte by sending them a copy of the Charlotte Post each week.
