Keys to living with chronic pain
● Do not wait for having no pain to normalize life, work life, leisure, moderate physical exercise ... because it could take time.
● Search solutions with common sense; cycles of rest and controlled exercise or activity, according to pain intensity.
● Know when and how pain presents
● Accept reality without unrealistic expectations.

Keys to living with chronic pain
● Do not search others to blame (doctors, relatives, colleagues at work). This only brings uncertainty about how stopping it and thinking the solution depends from others.
● Prioritize the objectives in life.
● If the pain is something we can not avoid, adapt early so it does not drive our lives.

● Paying adequate attention: the patient with C.P. feels not understood
● Highlight the acceptable moments and decentralize the pain from the patient's life
● Keep the spirit and will of the affected.
● Accept trial and error, there is no homogeneous pain, nor golden rules.
