To add another element to the conversation; distraction, like listening to your favorite music, or even writing posts or poems, stories are effective if you create a healing tale- even better! Of course funny films are notorious for pain relief, and I use therapuetic baths every evening, which relaxes the muscles we tend to hold tight all day in coping. I'm joining a group experience soon, to reflect on and explore the psychosomatic aspects of the pain, which has been roving for nine years. Yes, I have severe depression also- enjoying even a few minutes of comfort is so, so wonderful! That alone helps me get through.
