So, let’s see…
- Perhaps you were in an accident and injured your body.
- Perhaps you have a disease that makes it painful to move.
Human nature is very predictable. People who are injured or have a condition like arthritis grow afraid to move. They fear that any movement will cause them pain. They prefer to avoid the pain so become increasingly static. Well, if pain is a warning signal, you’d better heed the warning and stop moving. In fact, if you never moved at all you could probably do without the Ultram altogether. Let’s work through the mental process. Pain is the body’s way of telling you that, if you carry on moving, you’re going to make the injury or damage worse. As it is, taking the painkiller is a good preventative measure. Well, this is the way to end up an invalid. You need a combination of psychological and physical therapy to unlearn the fear response. You just need someone to show you how to move with less pain. Yes, Ultram is useful while you experiment. But as your confidence reasserts itself, you should slowly use the painkiller less. You will not make any kind of recovery if you become dependent on painkillers. Now that really is something worth fearing!
