Are you one of the millions of people worldwide who live with chronic pain? Then you probably know that it can affect nearly every aspect of one’s life. From your career to your personal life, pain can take a devastating toll on your physical and mental health.
The good news is that you can manage chronic pain. Depending on your condition, you might not be able to get rid of it completely. What you can do, however, is radically transform your psychological and even your physiological response to pain. That will allow you to take back control of your life.

Though chronic pain should be the one thing that doesn’t discriminate, evidence shows that that’s not the case. Race and ethnicity are strongly tied to how you experience chronic pain — they influence its severity, length, and treatment. Sadly, in this case, this influence brings nothing good; ethnic minorities struggle with chronic pain more and receive inadequate treatment.

Living with chronic pain is a struggle — it negatively affects all aspects of your life, including your mental health. You become unable to work, socialize for long periods, or pursue other hobbies and interests. In a way, your life no longer feels like your own, as it revolves entirely around pain.

When dealing with chronic pain, it is normal for a person to go through a range of negative feelings and thoughts. After all, long-lasting physical discomfort can be draining for both the mind and the body.
Still, sometimes, those emotions and concerns go out of one’s control. What follows then is a phenomenon known as pain catastrophizing, or PC.
Often, patients who tend to catastrophize pain are said to exaggerate their suffering. What’s more, people who are not aware of PC’s risks may view the behavior as an attention-seeking strategy.

What makes chronic pain as unbearable as it is? Most people would say that it’s just a physiological process. However, the real answer is a bit more complex.

Our body
Our mind
The culture we live in
Our immediate surroundings

Chronic pain is crippling, and both men and women who suffer from it have a whole host of additional physical problems. However, while chronic pain sufferers focus on healing the body, they often neglect to heal the mind.
When you think about it, this condition does a lot more damage than just causing your body to ache. The damage it does to your social and psychological well-being is far more severe than you’d think. Not only will your psyche be out of whack, but your social life may also take a major hit.

Upper back pain can be a huge daily issue if you spend a lot of time sitting in front of your laptop or smartphone.
The pain and muscle tension you feel in your shoulder area can negatively affect your health further by causing severe headaches.
Thus, it’s important to do everything to minimize the pain, and stretching is one of the most effective ways to do so. Stretching exercises can help you relieve back pain and also prevent that same pain from coming back.

If you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), it could feel extremely isolating. But you are not alone. Approximately 1.6 million people in the United States are living with IBD.

And for more than 1 in 100 million American adults, this IBD diagnosis comes with expensive medical bills, a higher likelihood of major surgery, and an increased risk of mortality.
IBD is an umbrella terminology that describes inflammatory disorders affecting the gastrointestinal ..read more
