I had been doing a lot better until I dealt with a few very stressful weeks of work/home life and the pain came back quite hard. To begin with the pain in my hands/wrists mostly left and I was suffering with bad toothache, after that faded away after a few days the pain in my hands/wrists came back rather intensely. The last few days it has been quite bad and I've found it difficult to keep plowing on and not let old conditioning rise up. I do struggle with a few things though (such as worrying that if I spend too long on the computer it will make my hands hurt more) and I'm having difficulties getting back on track.
I am aware that I have been more tense and angry the last couple of weeks but facing it and thinking about the reasons doesn't appear to be helping as much. I'm still doing some journalling each day but it's not easy. The one thing I've always struggled with is the various conditioning I've done to myself over the years.
Does anyone have any tips on breaking them? The ones I am most aware of I tell myself that doing such and such won't cause pain and sometimes it helps a bit but not a huge amount. I just feel a little bit back to where I was to start with with my hands and wrists aching and with the joints feeling tight and cracking.
I won't give up but it does get difficult sometimes. |

Hey Covenant.
You seems worrying because of fear of symptoms.
Fear of symptoms keeps this pain cycle going on. I have pain only on computer. Refer my past posts about my condition.
Start reading book. : mental health through WIll training by Abraham Low. google book. It is free on net.
Practise it and start calming down day by day and you will be out this cycle.
Calming down will take months and you will receive many relapses. Do not expect cure in one day. It will take time. In my case, I have practised Hilliby's all suggestion and explanation sincerely and I am 100 % pain free after parctising for 10 months without loosing any hope.
