Dealing with chronic pain

 Problem: The Pain – Fatigue Cycle

The NIH tells us 126 million American adults live with chronic pain. When you live with chronic pain, you are exhausted before you even start your day. In addition, pain makes it hard to sleep and you wake up with increased pain. Poor sleep causes an increase in inflammation that makes your pain worse and then fatigue follows.

How To Break The Cycle

Address Your Sleep

It’s important to fall asleep and stay asleep all night. Beginning a specific routine and sleep schedule is one way, and making your bedroom conducive to good sleep is another.

Make Yourself Do Some Light Exercise

Gentle exercise is crucial in improving painful conditions. It will improve muscle strength and reverse any deconditioning that has occurred. It will also help decrease inflammation. Walking or riding a stationary bike are helpful if done in moderation. Build up your strength slowly.
Eat Better

Eating better will help you feel better!

Most of us remember mom saying something similar. Eating more whole foods and plant based foods will reduce inflammation in the body. Make fruits and vegetables your friend. Stop smoking and reduce alcohol consumption.

Don’t Overlook Your Mental Health
