What do you do when you’re having pain other than take medications, if that’s what you do? Here are things that people do:
- Distraction – working on a task that takes concentration
- Sleep – some people try to sleep their way through a crisis
- Watch funny movies or television
- Go for a walk and stimulate other senses
- Aromatherapy
- Talk to a friend
- Withdraw into a cocoon
- Take a bath/shower
- Meditate
- Ignore it
What’s on your list?

The only other thing that leaps out to me is spending time with a pet. Cuddling with my kitty helps me cope with pain on many bad days.
Aw thanks Elaine! :-)
I think you pretty much covered it! If I’m home, it’s sleep or a movie with my husband.
If I’m at work it’s distraction by talking to a coworker.
Good list. Although I hate when I realize I fit into a catagory – which I’m finding more and more these days with my pain.
Thanks for all the articles! You rock!!
