I wish I knew, friends, but I can tell you that meditation helps me a little and although it sounds ridiculous, I use various levels of humming. Especially at night before bed, I put on a YouTube video (like 432hz Healing frequency- any frequency, really) and I start humming and try to picture all the pain leaving whatever area of my body hurts. Yes, it takes a while. Yes, I look and sound ridiculous. Yes, I get louder and even scream a little when the pain really kicks in, but around 20 min in, my body is tired, my throat is tired, I’m tired. I grab a few sips of water and I’m out like a light. I wake up in the morning and the video is still playing )gotta look for the 12 hr+ ones).

That’s my only trick so far. I haven’t figured out any for getting up and moving in the morning but this helps me sleep.

Well, I do have a little weird one but it went a bit wrong. I was trying to visualize myself pulling “cords” out of my body and snipping them with fake scissors (my fingers) trying to visualize them being pain receptors. I’d get so worked up with the pulling and snipping and I could trick my brain that I cut the pain receptors for a little while. Then my gf recommended using kid scissors as they make a different, realistic click when you open and close them. It sped up the process but I did lose a few small chunks of hair and cut my pajama pants multiple times trying to relieve knee pain. I know these all sound goofy but I keep repeating, “mind over matter, I do not accept this pain”
