Medication and surgery works for all sorts of different diseases.
But they frequently do not work to cure chronic pain...and I know this very well because I have been living with chronic pain for well over a year and nothing doctors gave me worked.
So I have been on a pretty intense journey to heal myself and I've discovered a number of non-drug non-surgery ways to significantly reduce the amount of pain I feel in a given day.
They work for me. And from what I can tell, they work for hundreds of thousands of other people.
I am not 100% "cured", I still have bad days...but I have SIGNIFICANTLY reduced my reliance on pain medication. And, most importantly I have discovered how to stay hopeful and happy despite the pain. This is true for almost everyone who uses these tools.
If you or someone you care about suffers from chronic pain (migraines, back or leg pain, elbow or neck pain...ANY PAIN that's long term and wont go away) I strongly recommend you give these things a try.
You dont have to believe they work.
You dont have to want to do them.
Just give them a try!
My five ideas to help ease your chronic pain:
1. Go to Curable Health and try it out for a month: https://www.curablehealth.com/
2. Listen to some doctors explain the pain cycle...and how to break it: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tell-me-about-your-pain/id1503847664
3. Listen to some people who significantly reduced their pain which can give you the inspiration you need to believe you can get better: https://www.curablehealth.com/podcast?gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIveqXyarhgAMVw4VbCh0pjwUOEAAYASAAEgItQfD_BwE
4. Watch some videos on Cold Plunging with Wim Hof: https://www.facebook.com/reel/6995193690493339
5. Read a book on the science and history of breathing by James Nestor: https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/
And a bonus: listen to my episode on how to gradually reduce your pain medication.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
