Downtime: Pain Management
Hello! I hope you are enjoying a pain free
day, but for those days when you aren’t. Here are three ideas that might help
ease the pain a little.
1.
Walking
The idea of
getting out of bed when you suffer from chronic pain can sometimes be quite daunting, but if
you can manage to do it, taking a little walk – even just around the house can
really lift your mood and help make your body stronger. If you
aren’t up for a walk however, then it might be easier to try my next suggestion
in the comfort of your bedroom.
2.
Stretching/ Yoga
I find that if I do some
stretches first thing in the morning, I feel a lot better during the day with a
lot more energy and with a lot less sharp pains in my pelvic area where my endo
is the worst.
Here are some
regular poses in my routines:
