Pain Management and Comfort Tips During Injury

Pain can disrupt sleep and slow recovery. Simple strategies like supporting the injured limb with pillows and using cold or heat therapy as recommended can make a big difference.

Over-the-counter medications may help but should be used according to label directions and your provider's advice. Staying hydrated and eating nutrient-dense foods also support the healing process.

Gentle breathing exercises or guided relaxation can calm the nervous system and reduce the perception of pain. Consistency with these habits promotes comfort while the body repairs.
