    I find that getting enough rest and practicing good sleep hygiene is important for coping with chronic pain. Poor sleep quality or not getting enough sleep can exacerbate pain and make it more difficult to cope.

    I think it’s also important to find ways to stay engaged with activities that you enjoy, even if it means making modifications to accommodate the pain. This can help improve mood and overall quality of life.

    I find that regular exercise helps me cope with chronic pain. Exercise can release endorphins, which are natural painkillers, and also help improve mood and overall health.
