It can look like getting up in the morning and monitoring AKA "checking" if the pain is there. Checking the intensity of pain throughout the day. Checking if the pain is changing or getting better during an activity. It involves a lot of "checking" instead of being in the moment, being present, and moving on with life regardless if you have pain or not. Checking forums, Googling symptoms. Checking, checking, checking. It can be difficult to "let go" and move past this but once you get the hang of it, it is when you really start to see progress. You convey safety to the brain.
