Why You Absolutely Shouldn’t Get Used to Pain

It’s amazing what a person can get used to. New moms and dads somehow find a way to function on a teaspoon of sleep after they bring their bundle of joy home. Intrepid hikers on the Appalachian Trail learn the simple joys of living with only what they can carry on their back. A lot of people also learn to live with constant, low levels of chronic pain. According to the Institute of Medicine of The National Academies, roughly 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. That’s almost 1 in 3 Americans!

How Chronic Pain Becomes Normal

I bet you know a friend who hates their job but doesn’t quit. Somehow, the job is just bearable enough that the friend won’t make the effort to find something better. Chronic pain is like this too. No one wants to have chronic pain, but if you’ve been dealing with it for years, you may have gotten used to it. I meet people all the time who don’t even remember what it is like not to be in chronic pain. They wake up every morning expecting pain and never assume that they can do something to change it.

This is a HUGE problem, because chronic pain saps away the joy in life. It may prevent you from doing the things you used to love, like playing golf on the weekends or running in a charitable 5k. If may take all of your energy just to get through the day, so after work you collapse on the couch instead of volunteering or going out with your friends. Without even realizing it, you may lose that spark that motivated you to keep improving, keep taking risks, keep seeing what else life had to offer.

One of the most powerful quotes I’ve ever read is this:

Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly…and if left unresolved for very long, you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place. Wm. Paul Young.

You DO NOT Have to Live with Chronic Pain

Do not forget that you were created to fly. Even if you have had chronic pain for years, that doesn’t mean that you can’t achieve chronic pain relief. The only way to guarantee chronic pain for the rest of your life is to do nothing.
