Thanks for the report. I think that is what they were trying to achieve when I was at the Cleveland Clinic day program for pain. I told them and how I feel that I think yoga,talking about your feelings about how the pain makes you feel not symptoms,biofeedback can assist but it comes to a point where it does not cut it. I wished that the clinic did that part cause I found the support and coping techniques nice but also after being on your feet and doing so much physical activity you also need assistance of meds. I said you guys get a head ache and take a med you don't write how you feel about it or stretch. So for me when I felt like I got shot in the legs from pain to write how I felt about it rather then getting relief was irritating. Now though I do work on certain ways of coping. Actually in therapy right now I'm working on mindfullness and relaxation skills. It does help me stay present. I think for myself the coping skills work better for the anxiety and depression around the pain but not so much for the actual pain itself if that makes sense. I need any help I can get though. Thanks Melody
