Tactics, Habits & Skills
Mastering Flare-Ups for Effective Pain Management: Write Your Personalized Flare-Up Plan
You'll build your flare-up plan, a crucial skill for managing joint pain effectively. Most of the time, you'll experience a baseline pain, but occasionally, you'll encounter a "flare-up" — a sudden, temporary increase in pain, often triggered by stress, illness, or overexertion. These moments can be scary, but they're not a sign of worsening conditions.
​
Learning to manage flare-ups is vital. When handled well, they boost your confidence and keep you on track. Mishandling them can lead to anxiety and setbacks.
​
Your flare-up plan is a flexible strategy, like an initial draft. As you progress through the Joint Thrive Challenge, refine it with new strategies you learn. Continuous learning and growth are keys to improving your plan.
