Retirees with Chronic Pain

What can chronic pain sufferers do when their retirement years are being hindered? Perhaps start by educating yourself by reading literature on pain and then seek help. The key to managing your pain is to find the strategy that works best for you. While your doctor should be your main source of information, it may be helpful to consult with other people who have had similar experiences. Find out what treatments other people have tried, and suggest them to your doctor for his/her consideration. Being proactive will help you get your pain under control. Consult with your doctor and ask if physical and occupational therapy can benefit you!
