Chronic pain worse

Pain medicines usually work their way through inhibiting pain signals which can be helpful if you need to relieve pain in the quickest time possible. Chronic pain is a vicious cycle of inflammation that doesn't heal optimally, thus movement is lowered to reduce inflammation or ease pain. Pain can be caused by an either sedentary lifestyle, or repetitive strain injuries also known as RSI(eg too much improper resistance training). Chronic pain is usually accompanied with lowered blood flow to the area(due to a reduced range of motion) in which you feel pain, & to manage pain, you can also look into lowering the overall stress on your body by doing simple activities such as mindfulness practise/ meditation, deep breathing exercise(relaxation techniques), listening to calming music or light aerobic exercises to help reduce stress & inflammation. Other treatments like heat therapy can also be used to help reduce pain, & if there is constant swelling, use ice packs sparingly to help with swell reduction & pain. Massage therapy & pain medicine for chronic pain can be used to get temporary muscle pain relief, but not for long term when you are trying to improve health conditions/ reduce pain. When unsure what to do, it's always best to seek medical advice from a doctor or physical therapist to get the best treatments available.

Your muscles are built to move & when they don't get enough exposure to movements, your brain will tell your body to limit range. And this is where regular exercise & stretching keeps your joints moving through its range of motion which reduces pain(muscle pain). Over the counter pain medicines should not be a permanent solution as it has side effects, long term when compared to exercise. Plenty of meta analysis, studies, & treatment using exercises have shown to help improve

A ideal recommended dose of regular metabolic workouts for improving health(eg blood pressure, muscle pain, sore muscles etc) would be at the very least 3 times weekly if you are not doing anything physical.
