Give swimming a try…
The first thing that you should do is give swimming a try. The reason that we recommend this is because when you exercise, your body releases endorphins which are natural pain killers. The problem here is that a lot of people with back pain don’t want to exercise because of the pain that it causes them to do so. Swimming is the best solution to this for a number of reasons. First, it works out all areas of your body, and second it takes the weight off of your body for a while. While you are in the water, you are essentially weightless so there should be no pressure on your back. It’s certainly worth thinking about this.
Give Up The Medication…
Now might be the time to give up the medication if it is no longer working for you. The last thing that you want is to be taking medication unnecessarily as this can cause your body more problems than you know. Speak to your doctor, and let them know that you don’t want to take this anymore as you are going to be pursuing other methods of pain management.
If you have other symptoms that they want to give you something for such as GERD, make sure that you check out the medication first. The reason behind this is the fact that there are people out there who now need to get legal help for cancer caused by Zantac which was used to treat GERD.
Home Improvements…
Finally, some homes could benefit from home improvements to make it better for you to live in. if you aren’t having to go up steps, then maybe you wouldn’t be aggravating your condition, making it a little better. You won’t know until you try, but it’s worth making the change. Have a think about some of the other home improvements that you can make to ease the stress on your body.
We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you are going to have to do if it’s time to change up how you manage your pain. Living with chronic pain is difficult enough, so if you think that you want to try something new, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Go with it, and see if it helps.
