Try Soaking In A Bath

If the pain that you are experiencing is in your joints or somewhere in your muscles, then soaking in a hot bath could be the answer that you have been looking for.

You can even try adding some dead sea bath salts or something like this to the water, which also has a relaxing effect on the body.

Use Medication

Another thing that you can try is using medication. There are some over the counter products that you can try, or you can go to your doctor and get them to prescribe you something to help with the pain. A product like xylocaine, which is a cream can be applied to the area that has pain and will provide you with the relief that you have been looking for all this time.

You might also want to give CBD a try. There are more and more studies being done on CBD gummies for pain management, many of which have shown its ability to treat pain and inflammation.

Just make sure that when you are using any kind of medication, you are reading the instructions carefully so as not to cause yourself any harm. 

Gentle Exercise

Finally, gentle exercise could help you get rid of some of the pain. Now, we know that this doesn’t sound quite right, and you have found previously that exercising has actually ended up hurting you, but if you take it slowly, you should be fine. Sometimes your body just gets a little stiff from not working out for a while, so the first session or two no matter how gentle, can be a little uncomfortable. Getting through this is going to be the hardest part, but once you do it, you might find that it brings you more relief than pain. That is why exercise is recommended to people of all ages with all kinds of medical conditions, as long as it isn’t going to cause you more harm than good, which is a very rare occurrence. Keeping your body moving and active is always better than staying in the same place, and letting your muscles slowly get weaker as the years go by.

We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now have a few ideas about some of the things that you can do to ease long term pain. Good luck, and we hope that you find the relief that you are looking for.
