Pain Management Strategies

Some people have a very high tolerance for pain and it indeed would be nice to be such a person if you happen to be experiencing severe and uncontrollable continuous pain. Life is full of pain and sorrow, happiness and joy and one should understand that you cannot know true happiness or joy in your life unless you have also experienced the other side of the spectrum. Call it balance if you will.

As athletes often say; No Pain, No Gain, but is there are way to take your pain and make it go away or stay out of your mind without taking pain killer medication, which can also be quite addictive they say? Some coaches say things to athletes like; Pain is Not Real!

Oh sure, until it is you experiencing it. Indeed pain is merely your body telling you that something is not exactly right and you need to consider what you are doing as not to cause any more damage, as it might become permanent.

One way I have found to deal with pain is to study it, analyze it and consider how it works, press on the sensitive area and try to trace where it comes from and exactly where it hurts. Next pinch yourself and then compare the two types of pain and study the differences.

Eventually what happens is you acknowledge the pain for what it is; a warning sign and move on. During marathon races this is what I always recommended to my fellow athletes. Why not give it a try. Personally I disagree with taking pain medicines and hope you will consider the alternatives.

I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
