Managing Pain at Work

Hey guys, as I'm sure you all understand how hard it is to do stuff while in pain. Do any of you have active jobs and manage the pain without a heating pad? I have stronger meds coming but its going to be a week and I could use the advice Thanks

Can you help? Connect today

I go to acupuncture on a weekly basis and when I have really bad days I take high dose of pain killers and usually I keep up the work. Once a month or so I cannot go to work, but I have been honest about it since my job interview

I work in an office, and when the pain strikes I cannot even do my paperwork. Luckily for me, I have the best boss. He totally understands me and when I’m in too much pain that even my meds won’t help, he lets me go home earlier.

I actually use ice instead of heat. I wasn't so sure about it at first, I thought it'd cause more pain. Thankfully it does the trick and works much better than heat did for me. Give it a go

Some days are just to painful and I let myself stay home and work from home / take a day off. Other days i bring to work heating pad as well, pain meds and some tea that i like. Listen to your body, I think he deserves it.

I found several alternative treatments that alleviate my pain. Acupuncture once a week and self-hypnosis treatment help me reduce the intensity of the pain and manage my lifestyle as usual.

I was a 7th grade history teacher for 22 years and had to quit my job in the spring. Fibro, Endo and IC just became too much.
