Talk to your doctor – ask your health care professional about your pain. Weigh the pros and cons of options your doctor suggests, talk to friends and family and make the decision that is best for you.
Try deep breathing – try taking in slow deep breaths. Focus your attention on the feeling and sound of your breath as you breathe in. As you exhale, imagine you're breathing out the pain.
Stay active – though pain will likely discourage you from wanting to move and be active, look for exercises and activities you can safely do. Exercise improves circulation, which can help improve pain for some people.
