People often relate to chronic physical pain in a negative, critical, hateful way, thinking "Why me?" This negative mental relationship to pain tends to only worsen it. In order for physical pain to heal, it needs the help of positive attention and loving-kindness. Try to cultivate more openness, lightness, and kindness in relation to the pain. Doing so might not remove the pain completely, but it could help to minimize it.
