Some people try to ‘put
up’ with pain. “[But] the
purpose of pain is to
grab your attention
so that you’ll fix the
problem,” says pain
medicine researcher
Dr Scott Fishman.Addressing the pain
by taking medication,
grabbing an ice pack
or seeing a doctor is
the smart way to go.
Unfortunately, decoding
the products on painkiller
shelves can give you a
headache as bad as thepain you want to treat!
If the aches and pain
continue, make sure you
take it seriously. Over time,
almost any nerve and
muscle damage, actually
has the potential to
change how your nerves
and even your brain work.
Don’t worry about people
thinking you’re a whiner- it’s smart to let a doc
know the intensity of your
aches asap.

BODY’S SAYING ‘OUCH!’?
