Guest guest Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I see a pain management physician for a myriad of treatments. In addition to meds, I do physical therapy and traction.

Does anyone have any good treatmeants they can share. I am not one to take meds due to it might help with pain but what harm is it doing to other parts of my body. Welcome, I do take pain medications. I also do reflexology, myofacial release, meditation, lots of stretching, strength training, and some mild to moderate cardio walking. I use a whole bunch of distraction (see other recent posting for a good discussion. I would recommend checking out books on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and pain management. You can find several on Amazon. CBT has/is helping me with identifying triggers that make the pain worse, precursors to pain, and practice moderation.
