Overdoing and Avoiding in Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can lead to significant levels of distress and disability as sufferers struggle to maintain their activity levels in the face of high levels of pain. People vary enormously in their responses to a chronic pain problem but the two most obvious approaches are avoiding and overdoing. Avoiding is much less common the person doing less and less with time, avoiding activities as they fear damage to their back. With time this evolves into an almost complete avoidance of activity as the person rests for the majority of the day, with others typically taking over all the domestic tasks and often many of the personal ones too. This leads to high levels of unfitness and deconditioning.

The other approach, more common overall, is to keep pushing on with activities because they have to be done, and then cope with the consequences afterwards. These people feel guilty at not being able to do the things they should and when they wake up to a better day than normal they go for it, doing all the things they have wanted to do until the pain increase stops them and then is much worse for several days, forcing them to rest.
