For chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia, most painkillers offer short-term solutions. And even then, a phenomenon known as “breakthrough pain” can overcome the effects of those medicines. For this reason, a permanent change in lifestyle can help a person cope with chronic pain.

Some tips include:

1. Practice deep-breathing and meditation, as they’re known to relax the body.

2. Develop a workout routine. Exercise releases endorphins that can boost your mood and block pain signals to some extent.

3. Quit drinking and smoking, as they weaken the immune system.

4. Work with a pain management provider to find the best therapy for you.

In addition to taking pain medicine, try the following:

1. Lie down and rest in a quiet, dark room.

2. Apply cold or hot compresses to your head.

3. Take a small amount of caffeine.

4. Avoid potential headache triggers (i.e. stress, certain foods, alcohol).

Apart from taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), here are some tips on how to reduce the pain stemming from a muscle strain:

1. Avoid any activities that could further strain the affected muscle.

2. Apply cold compress to the affected area to reduce inflammation.

3. Keep the strained muscle elevated. This will help decrease swelling.
