I Suffer From Chronic Pain

I've been dealing with this for about 6 years. It all started with a work-related injury. It all went downhill from there. The pain I have is difficult to describe. It moves around, and the way it feels changes often. It may feel like a sharp object stabbed in me, or it may feel like an electrical shock. I have the flu right now, and everything is intensified. I can barely move around.

If you struggle with pain, how do you minimize it? The only thing that seems to work is pain killers, but I don't want them. They certainly work, but not having them is a nightmare. I don't want to go through that again.
