MENTALLY STIMULATED PAIN RELIEF Q&A

Q:
 
I live with chronic pain and have used a narcotic patch for relieve. My pain was decreased, but the narcotic made me sick and I was apathetic. I just wanted to lie around all day and do nothing. So, I took myself off of the patch and found out that I was "hooked" and so I went through withdrawals to get off of it. My options as far as anyone can give me are constant pain or addiction. I don't like either of these choices but am at a standstill as to what I can do. All I want to do now is to create health for myself. Any ideas? Thank you so very much. C. M.
 
A:
 
Thanks to the 20th century physician, Rene Leriche, we now recognize chronic pain as a particular disease state different from other diseases. Who’d have thought it would take until the 1900’s to catch up to what Socrates knew as early as the sixth century B.C. E? He said, “there is no illness of the body apart from the mind” What was once a demeaning reference to psychosomatic illness, is now treated by the most powerful organ of the body, the mind.
 
Personal responsibility and self-reliance is a key factor in pain management. The patient is taught to manipulate sensations in the body through self-suggestion and imagery while in an altered state (sometimes called, self-hypnosis, meditation, alpha brain wave state etc.).
 
Relaxation alone has an immediate result in reducing the pain sensation. In addition, there is a deeper state which can create naturally occurring anesthesia. I suggest you consult a chronic pain specialist. Your doctor or health care practioner can refer you to one.
 
Pain management is a skill which develops over time. While some people may get results at first, many must preserver with as much focus and determination as when learning any other skill.
