How to get rid of pain
I am more than a little bored at the moment and still in a little pain. So I am going to write myself some instructions.
How to get rid of pain
How to get rid of pain
- Is there any pain? If No, go to the END. If Yes, continue...
- Do you want to get rid of the pain? If No, go to the END. If Yes, continue...
- Can you move? If No, then YELL for HELP. If Yes, continue...
- Are you dying or critically ill? If Yes, then GET HELP. If No, continue....
- Breathe. Deep breaths. Concentrate on breathing. Still in pain? If No, then go to the END. If Yes, continue...
- Is the pain stopping you from doing anything? If No, then IGNORE it and go to the END. If Yes, continue...
- Take some pain killers and wait for them to work. Still in pain? If No, then go to the END. If Yes, continue...
- Move around. Go for a walk. Stretch. Get a massage...etc. Still in pain? If No, then go to the END. If Yes, then continue...
- Distract youself. Stimulate as many of your senses as possible (eg smell, touch, hearing, sight etc). Still in pain? If No, then go to the END. If Yes, then continue...
- Focus on the pain and try to figure out what it is exactly. This almost always works for me. Still in pain? If No, then go to then END. If Yes, then GET HELP. something is wrong and/or you need stronger pain relief.
