Pain Manager: Transform Pain via Health Spiral

The guidepost in the downward chronic pain spiral is:  AVOID DECONDITIONING. For someone like me, who earlier enjoyed life out of the medical sphere , I casually dismissed  folks who seem hobbled in the slow lane as couch potatoes. But after I became de-conditioned, I humbly learned that without guideposts, anyone in chronic pain can really get stuck.
In the starkest of terms I have listed eight consequences of deconditioning:  muscle deterioration ; stiff joints, loss of calcium from bones, (a recipe leading to osteoporosis); increased risk of heart disease  and diabetes; disappearance of sufficient red blood cells; fading of making whoopie hormones and production of swimmers; flagging resistance to infection; obesity and depression.
Deconditioning is the opposite of conditioning. Conditioning is a clinical catch-all for all the great things that happen when you are in shape.  Below I describe what actually happened to me in the downward spiral of deconditioning.  I didn’t realize I had gotten caught until a friend, who has been fooled also, showed me the  guidepost to becoming happy and healthy again. 


Imagine me, a zero flab, blonde , sporty and wild Warrior Princess assuming responsibility for raising  an infant grandchild…scraping through a costly divorce and … taking a sit-down computer job with  car- commute of 220 kilometers.  I also had not yet rehabilitated a limb  injury. However, I benefited from tramadol for my pain management programming.
I want you to recognize the down- spiral in the following handful of junctions  that I chalked up.  Then, you will be able to intervene and bust up the old routine and produce a safe and healthy one.  You can reduce your pain on a daily basis…. for the rest of this life. Yes!
Junction1: Inactivity.  I registered much pain, so I limited what I would normally do.  I cancelled my planned outing to the beach because it meant another hour in a car and lifting my baby out of a car seat, which would make me feel even more however you-harden up-after-you-are-dead .  I postponed gardening tasks, because just thinking about kneeling and stooping  made  me  tired.  I stopped calling my work-out buddies to go ocean swimming because getting in and out of my wet-suit screamed pain. I turned to tramadol for pain management.
Junction 2: Catching up.  I felt okay the next day.  I hopped into the car, dropped my little babe at the Kid Zone and got in some reps.   I replanted two dozen bulbs.  I put on my wetsuit for a Saturday plunge at my favorite beach. Life seemed good again.
Junction 3: Inactivity. After my active and feeling great day, I woke up stiff and sore. "Ow! I did too much," I hollered at myself in the mirror, so I slowed down again and canceled my beach appointment.
Junction 4: Repeating the cycles. I went through this series of events several times trying to adjust to life with chronic pain. It became a deconditioning cycle:  I felt better. I did more. I felt worse. I slowed down.
Junction 5: Deconditioning.  Bottomed out! De-conditioning resulted as my body suffered. I actually got out of shape in response to my pain. The time I spent slowing down made me weak and tired: what an irony, eh?  I chose to protect myself through slowing down, but this inactivity actually hurt and weakened my body.  Among other things, it caused my muscles to atrophy, which stone-walled my stamina and brought on exhaustion.
Another danger in the pain cycle is that I began spending more time all by myself. My bodysurfing buddies didn’t  text me anymore because I cancelled one too many outings , so they  gave  up on me. My family settled for (albeit lovingly) doing things for me and without me. They believed they were helping by playing proxy and no longer expecting me to participate. They didn’t understand that the more helpless I grew, the more pain I would  attract.
I am excited to share this information and trust you will take in what applies to you." Please don't ever give up!"
