How do you live with pain?

@PrivateHell That’s hard

@Eternity sad but true

@GlassDog With What?

@ImRileyTheDog I guess it depends on the pain. Bigger pain needs bigger distraction. One trick I was taught is that you can fool the brain into processing a lesser pain, so pinching the back of my hand or gently pressing a needle against skin (but not puncturing it) can lessen other people we feel. I'm not sure if it works for psychological pain but I know some people use it to fight panic attacks. If it's a lesser pain, usually music or films or a book. Anything to distract my mind.

@GlassDog I personally have trouble distracting myself from the pain. Pain just seems to always be there and on my mind no matter what I do to stop it.

@SweetMae Sounds difficult

@ImRileyTheDog I'm fortunate that my back rarely bothers me now.

@SweetMae That’s awesome! I’m glad!
