SMART Goals and Chronic Pain: What are your goals?

Have you tried meditation? I know for me there are days when I feel like you do. Pain is banging at a 10 and I can't get ahead of it.
A lot of dealing with pain comes from our minds. If a person can't control what they are feeling (works to a degree) then the battle can't be one.
For me I take each day as a blessing and do the best I can. Sometimes that means staying in bed meditating till I can get up.
Best wishes for you

If staying in bed until some of the pain passes is meditating. I spend long hours doing that. Anyway, thank you for your advice.

I totally agree with this- I have hardly ever meditated but need to try it. Sometimes I find that if I change my mind set and think about something positive that helps take the focus away and the pain seems to fade. Like one of my friends said, if we did not have a brain we would not have pain!
