I was in a 15-person chronic pain group run by a pain psychologist. We were all spinal injury patients
I learned the hard way over a six month period how to deal with chronic pain
It is different than regular acute pain
I learned that any thought given to pain increases it
Fear or anxiety toward our pain increases it
Best to not think about it
