Dr. Wright:
Let other people have the privilege of helping you and giving them specific directions as to how they can help you manage your pain, whether it’s helping organize a space so that she can work in that space more comfortably, or whether it’s taking you certain places and learning how to manage your pain. “Hold my arm when we’re going downstairs.”
Be informed. Be educated about what reduces your pain and how people can be very helpful with you. They don’t know and guessing is dangerous. So, ask your doctor, ask your physical therapist, ask the people that are trained how to manage your environment so that your pain aggravators are at a minimum.
