Your opinion is NOT a minority one. We need to have compassion for ourselves and for others. When it comes to physical pain we need to get ahead of it as much as possible so we can better contain it. In the case of pain relieving meds it is very important to get ahead of chronic pain. <br /><br />Pushing into the pain refers to actively dealing with it and finding a way through...not putting up with it. <br /><br />I so appreciate your taking the time to voice your thoughts here. Good to hear from you. Hugs.

To feel that unless a person is willing to endure extreme pain is the same as telling someone not to take a pain relieving medication because they will reduce their potential for growth because if you take this idea to extremes that is exactly what is being proposed. I have too much compassion for that even if my opinion is a minority one. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884196665916194699noreply@blogger.com
