Perception of pain
I used to think the worse pain was when my right shoulder had to be replaced around 15 yrs ago. That was awful. Then my right hip ..OMG the pain..but then I got a replacement for that hip...aah so much better.
Then-WHAM....AS diagnosis, flares, horrible ogre flares. I'm finding new definitions for pain every day.
Is it all relative? Is there actually a personal thresh hold of pain for each of us or is it that we accrue new pain thresh holds? Random thoughts on pain!
BTW, I forgot to tell u how I'm doing, lol. For now , the flares have calmed down, thank God! How are YOU doing?

Hey there how are you doing today? wow you have been through a lot your a true warrior 💪🏽 I believe there is a personal thresh hold of pain for each of us, everyone handles pain differently. I try to block it out as much as I can Is it still there absolutely but I try not to dwell on it as much although this is a hard way to cope it’s my way everyone copes differently I don’t think there’s a wrong or right way to deal with pain I believe your a strong person if you have to deal with any kind of pain daily because it takes a strong person to handle this kind of pain daily! Sending love 💙 Nadine (Community Member) Thank you Nadine! I think we are all warriors when it comes to daily living of serious pain. I too try to ignore it the best I can by keeping my mind busy. Such as doing research or just roaming the web. I notice the pain less when my mind is occupied.
Only problem is, I have to remind myself to get up every 1/2 hr to stretch, walk around the house, ( we have a small 1, lol,) or if I can handle it, I walk up and down the driveway for a few mins. If I become too invloved while sitting, when I DO get up, I am in excruciating pain. UGH...but you're right, whatever works for each person is the right thing.
Sending love back to ya!!
