Reduced social activities as a result of chronic pain was a key finding. <br /><br />Based on the results of the survey Arthritis Ireland launched a free support booklet, Coping with Emotions,which offers advice on dealing with the emotions that accompany arthritis and chronic pain. http://www.arthritisireland.ie/Marie Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612293419312247143.post-23731637362230301332009-04-18T20:08:00.000-07:002009-04-18T20:08:00.000-07:00Health.com (http://www.health.com/health/condition...Health.com (http://www.health.com/health/condition-article/0,,20188145,00.html) has some interesting ideas for keeping a pain diary. While it can be tedious to keep a diary it can help you to isolate and identify the causes of pain. You can then experiment to see whether doing things differently makes any difference.Marie Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612293419312247143.post-73565431540272134182009-04-13T19:16:00.000-07:002009-04-13T19:16:00.000-07:00have a slipped disc, and thats a chronic condition...have a slipped disc, and thats a chronic condition. I have shooting and unbearable pain from my lower back down my legs that is also termed as scatica. I have been in bouts of pain since the last 8 years. Each time I have consulted orthopedics, I have been advised physio therapy and regular exercise to keep pain at bay. While, i try to keep at it, it gets tough with a 3 year old and being a home maker. More than anything else, its traumatic, and wish there was a miracle treatment for this.<br /><br />Also over the years, the pain becomes a kind of intruder in your daily life and robs you of little pleasures. I wish i was pain free. Its ironical that I also have migraine, but have controlled it with pranayam - yogic breathing. I think migraine can be conrolled with the practice of yoga and meditation. Pranayam, like I mentioned above, was of immense help.<br /><br />Windows of pain is a nice initiative for people in pain. Not many of us have forums to talk about pain and also be understood at the same time.
