Chronic pain isn’t just a medical condition — it’s a daily reality that reshapes your routines, relationships, and self-image. Managing it well requires more than symptom control; it demands new habits, new rhythms, and a deeper understanding of what still brings meaning. You don’t need to be pain-free to live a fulfilling life. You need tools that make room for what matters, even on the days when discomfort is loudest. These strategies help you reclaim agency without pretending pain doesn’t exist.
