Sometimes pain will persist and cannot be easily relieved. It’s natural to feel worried, sad or fearful when you are in pain. What are 3 suggestions for how to handle persistent pain:

• Focus on improving your day-to-day function, rather than completely stopping the pain.
• Accept that your pain may not go away and that flare-ups may occur. Talk yourself through these times.
• Find out as much as you can about your condition so that you don't fret or worry unnecessarily about the pain. 
• Enlist the support of family and friends. Let them know what support you need; find ways to stay in touch. 
• Take steps to prevent or ease depression by any means that work for you, including talking to friends or professionals.
• Don’t increase your pain medicines without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first.
• Increasing your dose may not help your pain and might cause you harm.
• Improve your physical fitness, eat healthy foods and make sure you get all the rest you need.
• Try not to allow the pain to stop you living your life the way you want to. Try gently reintroducing activities that you used to enjoy. You may need to cut back on some activities if pain flare-ups occur, but increase slowly again as you did before.
• Concentrate on finding fun and rewarding activities that don't make your pain worse.
• Seek advice on new coping strategies and skills from a healthcare professional such as a psychologist.
