Living with Chronic Pain | Pain Awareness Month [CC]

(take 2 - I did publish this on Friday but I didn't want to discuss medication so I've taken that out of this video).
September is Pain Awareness Month; living with pain is something I've pretty much experienced my whole life right back to when I was a young child. Back then my spinal curvature caused me a lot of pain as I grew up affecting me as a dancer (I started dancing when I was 3). Looking back I can now see the signs of my hypermobility disorder but I wasn't until I was in my 20's that I was diagnosed.
I now live with several different chronic illnesses/disabilities all of which cause my body to experience pain from joint pain due to dislocations/subluxations, muscle spasms, gastrointestinal pain, chronic headaches and migraines, malaise pain, dull aches, sharp neuropathic pain in my muscles and more.
Despite all of this you can learn to live alongside pain and find ways to manage pain. This is different for every and what might work for one person might not work for another so finding your own ways of dealing with your pain is often based on trial and error and perseverance.
I didn't plan this video but I hope that you found it helpful; if you did give it a thumbs up and if you're not subscribed to my channel and want to keep up to date with new videos that click subscribe.
Bye for now and I hope your pain isn't too bad today, if not I hope that tomorrow is a better day for you.
