Some of the everyday aches will start to feel run of the mill \u2013 you can get used to those. But for some seniors, the pain turns in something more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/medlineplus\/magazine\/issues\/fall11\/articles\/fall11pg15.html\" target=\"_blank\">75-85% of seniors<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> living in assisted living facilities and nursing homes deal with chronic pain. \u00a0These seniors continually suffer and often have difficulty finding ways to cope with the pain that comes to define their days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is Chronic Pain?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic pain isn\u2019t defined by its severity, but rather its persistence. The pain of an injury or illness will typically pass once you heal. Chronic pain stays with you. As it\u2019s often caused by illnesses or ailments that have no cure, seniors must face the hopelessness of knowing there\u2019s no end in sight on top of the physical pain itself. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Common Causes of Chronic Pain in Seniors<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic pain isn\u2019t a problem that\u2019s exclusive to seniors, but incidences of it increase with age, largely because seniors are at a higher risk of many of the illnesses that commonly cause chronic pain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic pain can be a symptom of any number of diseases, illnesses, and injuries. It\u2019s entirely possible for a senior to be diagnosed with one of the following and not experience chronic pain, but if you experience one of these and your pain lasts beyond what your doctor deems the normal healing period, then you should likely consider seeking treatment for chronic pain:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthritis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardiovascular disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neurological Disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spinal injury<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shoulder tendonitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibromyalgia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shingles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nerve damage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the causes on that list can occur at any age, but not only are seniors at a higher risk for most of them, but treating chronic pain becomes more complicated for seniors. Between a weaker liver and a higher ratio of body fat to water and muscle mass, seniors are more likely to have a greater sensitivity to drugs and experience negative side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The combination of more pain and fewer treatment options leaves many seniors feeling stuck and hopeless. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Consequences of Not Managing Your Chronic Pain<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main consequence of not taking steps to manage your chronic pain is obvious and should be bad enough for most seniors: you have to live with the pain. Every day. Nobody wants that!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond that dire reality, the negative effects of chronic pain can go far beyond the pain itself. Many people with chronic pain suffer from <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senioradvisor.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/depression-in-seniors\/\" target=\"_blank\">depression, a disease seniors are already prone to<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If moving is painful, seniors are more likely to avoid going out, increasing their risk of <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senioradvisor.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/the-very-real-dangers-of-senior-loneliness\/\" target=\"_blank\">social isolation and loneliness<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 factors also known to cause depression, which in turn then makes you even less likely to leave the house. As if all that wasn\u2019t already enough, chronic pain also often causes <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2013\/05\/130508213112.htm\" target=\"_blank\">anxiety disorders<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in patients, which can cause a <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/anxiety_and_physical_illness\" target=\"_blank\">host of other health issues<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> including digestive problems and heart disease (which, of course, can be a cause of chronic pain).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here we have a long list of health and emotional problems that all have an unfortunate tendency to feed on each other and make the other health and emotional problems on the list worse. Don\u2019t get stuck in the chronic pain cycle yourself, and don\u2019t just watch on the sidelines if you see a loved one start to get stuck.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Techniques for Managing the Pain<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes seniors are uncomfortable speaking up. Maybe you don\u2019t want to inconvenience loved ones who are already doing a lot of work on your behalf. Maybe you\u2019re embarrassed to admit that you\u2019re in pain. If you don\u2019t start working to manage your pain it will get worse. But you have options.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><b>1. Talk your doctor \u2013 and be insistent.<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your doctor won\u2019t know how to help you unless you tell them exactly how you\u2019re feeling. If you feel they\u2019re not taking your pain seriously enough, be very clear with them about how intense it is and how much it\u2019s influencing your life.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019ll know the best treatments to try to start. Their first recommendation may not work for you, or you may find you\u2019ve traded the pain for side effects almost as unpleasant, but if you continue to work with your doctor, they should be able to help you better understand your options and continue in a treatment plan that may eventually lead to something that works. <\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Ask for help.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not just from your doctor, from everyone in your life. \u00a0Don\u2019t suffer in silence. If cooking meals requires movement that\u2019s painful, ask people to help you with your meals. If you\u2019re starting to feel social isolation or depression take hold, ask your family and loved ones to come by more often and help you come up with reasons to get out of the house more. A solid support system won\u2019t do away with the underlying cause of the pain, but it can help you avoid some of those emotional issues that make it worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Meditate.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2014\/04\/treating-chronic-pain-with-meditation\/284182\/\" target=\"_blank\">Meditation<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0has been shown to help alleviate physical pain. As more and more research shows the relationship between emotional issues and physical ones, perhaps it\u2019s no surprise that devoting time each day to an activity that\u2019s peaceful and calming can help ease the worst of your physical symptoms. <\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Get out of the house.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make goals to be social and stick to them. Join a weekly bridge group, start volunteering, or get more involved with your church. Whatever activity you know you\u2019ll do and enjoy, make it a regular part of your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus points for any activity that ensures you\u2019ll see people regularly. When you know there are friends who will miss you if you stay home, you\u2019ll have that much more incentive to get out no matter how bad the pain feels at that moment. <\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b><b>5. Exercise.<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re in physical pain, exercise is probably the furthest thing from your mind. But it helps. It releases endorphins that make you feel good. It keeps you healthy so you\u2019re less at risk of encountering other health problems that bring on more pain.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re worried about making your particular injury or illness worse with the strain of exercise, talk to your doctor or a personal trainer about the best types of exercise to pursue that will help rather than hurt. <\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b><b>6. Talk to a therapist.<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to let the pain take over your life if you don\u2019t seek out the help needed to keep that from happening. Therapists can offer both a friendly ear to listen to all the complaints you don\u2019t want to offload on your loved ones, and provide advice and techniques for managing the emotional side of dealing with chronic pain more effectively. <\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>7. Find a community.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A church group or bridge club can help, but also consider checking out support groups. The people who love you may try their best to be sympathetic, but they\u2019ll never really understand what living with chronic pain every day is like. A support group of other people who are also suffering will, and they\u2019ll likely be able to shed some light on coping techniques that have worked for them so you can all learn from each other.<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"display: inline !important;\"><b>8. Acupuncture<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/pain-management\/features\/chronic-pain-relief-new-treatments?page=7\" target=\"_blank\">Acupuncture has been proven<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help with many of the diseases that cause chronic pain, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, and headaches. If prescription medications aren\u2019t working, or if you\u2019re weary of trying them due to the side effects, acupuncture can be an appealing alternative, and one covered by many health insurance plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to just accept chronic pain as a normal part of life and you shouldn\u2019t try to, for all the reasons already explained. None of these coping mechanisms is 100% guaranteed to work, but making an effort to continue living your life and to stay hopeful will definitely lead to an improved quality of life, even if the pain persists in some form. And if not, you\u2019ll know you\u2019ve found that solution that keeps the chronic pain at bay.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living with Chronic Pain:\u00a0Coping Mechanisms for Seniors As you age, pain seems to become an ever more frequent fact of life.
