Hi Kash,


Yes I do meditation as well and I have also used crystal to get rid of and it as worked for me, though it looked funny just sitting rubbing a crystal on the part that hurts. Bright Blesings,.

I use self hypnosis as the pain reliever of choice. I have had what should be pain that shod have crippled me and I do not use any prescribed meds. Most of the pain pills that I have taken in the past made me into a zombie. I decided then and there to not use something that would not let me function like a person but rather to use self hypnosis to get rid of the pain and live a more normal live if there is anything as a normal life.

Hi Kashi,
I've been taking pain meds for a couple years now. The only other thing I can do that may help is shots in the lower spinal canal. I'm not too sure about that because my condition puts me at higher risk of paralysis. Nothing else seems to work.

The important thing with pain is to get it checked out medically first so that you know what you are dealing with. If it is stress-related, then meditation will not necessarily get rid of it, because meditation is a tool that a person can use to get into the root cause of a condition, and quite often it can feel worse at first. It goes like this... if such pain is resisted, it comes more into consciousness, making it feel worse than before. I have an article on meditation on my website for those who may be interested. It also covers some of the difficulties that may be found.. http://ayrehypnotherapy.com/whymeditate:-) Derek

I try to use distraction depending on how bad the pain is. I suffer from Fibro and sometimes it's so bad nothing will help but, usually as long as the pain is not in my hands I am able to just use distractions. I'll sit down and play a video game with my kids, or read them a book.

Some people have wonderful relaxation techniques that they can dissolve away the pain and they say that inner positivity can push the pain away, meditation as well can alleviate the pain and distress people suffer. I am very anti medication because your body in the end becomes immune to it, so what do you do, take even stronger medication? Until you become immune to that too? I don't think medication is always the answer it's not getting to the root of the problem, sometimes chronic pain can be caused by your state of mind, and I spouting Louise Hay here, but thank you for such a wonderful recommendation, I use that book like a bible now. Every Monday I go out to the park to a wide open space and digest it, and believe me it is helping me a great deal. I've learnt a lot of already, but I need to read the book two or three times more to get a better understanding of it, but truly it's magnificient, I can't thank you enough for recommending me the book!

I haven't tried meditation....I have a nerve in my back that acts up...alot...I might have to try that....for me stretching and heat.....that's been what I have to do. But that's not useful for many types of chronic pain!

I use yoga, I go to class three times a week and it's starts out slow but if you hang in there it can really help most chronic pain. I go to a moderate class, almost all of us are over 30 and we not not there to perfect Yoga, we are there to get the best we can from our bodies. Mine is thru a gymn and cost about $35.00 per month.

I have a prescription for pain and I only take it when needed. Usually I'm in chronic pain every two weeks or so but my body is so use to it that it's learned how to cope with it since a young age.

Have a nice day

To deal with chronic pain I take prescription pain medicine called Naproxen and it reallys help.
