RKS Health: The Great Hernia Adventure: Devolution of Pain Into Annoyance as a Pain Management Tool

Imagine on day 28 after your hernia procedure the pain remains unwavering. It is on the low level of let’s say 4 or 5 out of ten. You have given up on your over-the-counter pain meds as how much more can your body tolerate and at a certain point they don’t seem to annihilate or lessen the pain.

Does your pain denigrate to an annoyance as you are so accustomed to it? Is this your mind’s way of pain management? It is a tool in your pain management kit. Good for your liver and kidneys? This presupposes annoyance is preferable to pain.

Sounds inane, does it?  Try it. You have nothing to lose but pain itself.
