There are two Types of Sufferers

One type is the person who avoids activity and the second type is the person who copes and keeps active.

The avoider: – gets frightened by the pain and worries a lot about the future.

– is afraid that pain always means further damage, which is not necessarily the case.

– rests a lot and waits, hoping that the pain will diminish or possibly disappear altogether.

The coper: – knows that the pain will ease and does not fear the future

– carries on as normally as possible.

– deals with the pain by being positive and staying active.

The coper manages by practising PAIN MANAGEMENT.
