PAIN Levels- What’s your threshold?

By: E. Michelle Lee, Radio Talk Show Host & Journalist

 

PAIN- What’s the Most You Can Handle? Numerological Pain Rating Scale

I continually ask the doctors, “why can’t we up the scale?” There’s days when my pain feels like a 15; since I live most days at an 8 we should raise it to represent when pain takes over the brain.

Of course the request is denied as it would interrupt continuity in the pain community. Understood

But how much do they really think we can take before we break?  Don’t they understand that Pain changes people; apparently not because the kinda pain that chronic pain and fibromyalgia brings to the patient is at times, unreal.  This type of nerve pain generates from the brain and can travel to every other pain receptor in the line of the central nervous system throughout the body.  From the John Hopkins Lupus Center; Fibromyalgia outbreaks can be explained by how the flare up begins and travels through your body.

[Excerpt- John Hopkins Lupus Center- Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain sensitization disorder characterized by widespread tenderness, general fatigue, and non-restful sleep. Doctors do not currently know the cause of fibromyalgia, but it is believed to result from a rewiring of pain pathways that lead to the spinal cord and brain. As a result, the central nervous system experiences an increased sensitivity to pain signals. Many people with lupus have fibromyalgia; in fact, much of the pain that people with lupus feel is due to this condition. To check for fibromyalgia, your doctor may touch several points on the muscles of your body. People with fibromyalgia often feel pain when light pressure is applied to these areas, whereas people without the condition feel little discomfort.] Read More of this article @ http://www.hopkinslupus.org/lupus-info/lupus-affects-body/lupus-nervous-system/

So Just How Much PAIN can You Take Before You Break? Medical Daily posted the article that added Fibromyalgia to the 12 Most Painful Experiences List- “How Much Pain Can The Human Body Endure?, “Aug 9, 2014 09:30 AM By Susan Scutt. 

The next time someone asked you what your pain levels are; I’m wondering should we have a way to show them? Each person experiences pain differently. There are hundreds, if not thousands of combinations of past injuries, elements, stress levels, other conditions, and a multitude of other variables that can exist in each individual when their pain is at a heightened level compared to their normal daily levels of pain. No person who has not experienced this type of pain can ever acclaim to truly understand it; yet many still try to convince folks they can handle it like it’s a piece of cake.

That’s why we who suffer this kind of pain must be prepared when our pain levels go beyond what we truly can bare.  Do you have a plan in place for your next flare up?  Get some help with developing your plan to combat the next flare up that will come sooner than later.  Learn how to talk real to your doctor when you need to. Show all respect; make sure they respect you too.

E. Michelle Lee, Radio Show Host and advocate for #Fibromyalgia, an instructor at Victory Fitness Centers of Ohio is inviting you to come to the East Location TODAY at 3981 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43213- to DEMO the Exceptions AQUA Full Body Workout at 10:45-11:45 AM.  While this program has been designed especially for those who have #FM and/or some type of #ChronicPain; don’t be fooled- plan to bust your chops to reach your goal and love it at the same time, while you better your health and relieve your #PAIN.

Many health professionals and workout specialist have reported that aquatics is the way to go to better health.  For many reasons science has proven that this type of work out is much better and safer for overall health.  But that doesn’t mean it’s not strenuous enough to get a cardio workout in either. Plus it is great to be able to use equipment in the water that can aid in strength building as well as balance, range of motion, and core stability.

As reported in the Columbus Dispatch, Physicians favor Aqua Exercise Excerpted: “I think the water breaks up the pounding in the ground and strengthens muscle groups that you can’t find on land,” said Dr. Jason Dapore, a sports-medicine physician at the McConnell Spine, Sport & Joint Center at Riverside Methodist Hospital. “The buoyancy supports the body weight and strengthens muscles without the full body weight on the joints.”

From WebMD and the Fibromyalgia Health Center DR. Doris Cope, MD, director of Pain Management at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.       said in the article, “Studies show that walking, stretching, and strength training all help control fibromyalgia pain and muscle tenderness. Exercise just three times a week improves life on many levels. Exercise can relieve fatigue and depression, as well as help people feel better about themselves, more in charge of their lives. ”

There are many credible authorities and experts who are familiar with #FM that will tell you water workouts are the way to go. I for one will tell you it has saved my life.  That is why after gaining my strength back from a long stretch of time of not be able to do anything (5 years); I am now active and vibrant again! In fact, I believe in this way of exercise and health so much that I took training and certification classes with the Exercise Safety Association (ESA) and became a Certified Water Instructor at Victory Fitness Center so that I could help others do the same!

TODAY- come and join me for a FREE DEMO of the Exceptions Full Body Workout at 10:45 AM and see for yourself what you can do at your own fitness level.  JUST have some fun with it today.  PLUS today happens to be VFC Members Appreciation Day where you can possibly WIN a membership to the club and get the CLASSES FOR FREE!
