Managing Chronic Pain at Work

What do you do when your at work and your pain is getting worse. Do you stick it out or see if you can leave early?

I used to ask if I could leave but I used to work at a restaurant so idk if that had something to do with it

I stick it out. With chronic pain, it just keeps coming back, so where does one draw the line? I'm going to hurt a lot regardless, so I might as well get paid while I'm suffering. I take acetaminophen and try to limit movement, and then take it easy when I get home.

You should go to a doctor and get prescribed medication I get bad migraines and no over the counter medications works

Or you could use CBD gummies and stuff cause that helps me

stick it out. you can sit on your couch in pain for a few hours or you can work and get paid for a few hours. at the end of the day your pain will never go away. I like to pretend like i’m not hurting and continue my day until i get home
