I can relate to a lot of what you are saying here. <br /><br />It does impact my mental health as it wears me down, it just feels like one more thing to contend with on a daily basis. <br /><br />However I have found some things that generally keep the pain at a manageable level. What works for me is not sitting still for too long which is tricky when you work in an office! I get up from my desk and walk to the teapoint/toilets/printer/to discuss something with a colleage as often as I can. It doesn't have to be a lot but I find that little bit of movement really helpful. <br /><br />I also use the rowing machines at the gym, its low impact but I've found that overall it really helps lessen the pain (other than the slight after-exercise muscle aches!) I believe it is a good workout for a lot of muscle groups, core included. All I would say is that if you're going to give this a try, make sure someone shows you the correct technique or you could do more damage than good!<br /><br />I've found yoga really helpful as well, for both mental and physical health.<br />Otherwise I take turmeric supplements, whether this actually helps or is just a placebo I'm not sure though. <br /><br />Anyway, it's really brave of you to share this post and I just wanted you to know you're not alone. I hope you find what works for you x Vaminitiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359979739300513902noreply@blogger.com
