How do you do breathing techniques to help with pain when the very act of deep breathing makes the pain worse?
Edit: I think deep breathing is the wrong word. Mainly because even normal breathing is painful. I Know that in my Eleigh breathing through the pain helps but now I can't do that because it makes the pain increase
There is a whole art devoted to that called 'mindfulness.' It helps with a bunch of things. I have a book called "Full Catastrophe Living" which described it in detail.
Not sure how much more detail I can be If you meditate on a regular basis you know what i am speaking of (even if it were a short meet)
Studies show it helps. I lay down and calm my mind, taking very deep breaths and exhaling more than inhaling. Stale air is in the lungs and sometimes clearing our breath and getting good air to our… read more

Thanku Peter for such an informative reply.
As a side sleeper, my shoulders and hips are usually sore in the morning, even though I switch sides during the night. Sometimes, when both sides are sore, I have no choice but to sleep on my back, which is when I must elevate the pillows or I stop breathing momentarily.
Hi I’ve a cpap machine I have sleep apnea we at times stop breathing in my sleep so this machine is a god send definitely saving my life 🤗🤗
What do you think about it? I'm just starting on day 2😬
Update: it's been almost 3 weeks since I started taking the meds and I am impressed. I have been able to do my house work and run errands. My pain level has dropped from an 8/9 to a 4/5. I had no clue if anything could ever make me feel better.
The pain still sneaks up on me but I have to say it's manageable.
Thank you for the advice. I have my narcan with me all the time just in case.
