Have you been practicing mindfulness or meditation? I think it is a wonderful resource for treating a lot of different medical conditions including Pains, including low back pains , headaches , stress and anxiety and can even help with your weight loss efforts . There are a few resources I like for this (needless to say, I have gotten no kickbacks from any of these places) - The Headspace App is pretty good as an intro to meditation and you can do a free 10 day trial here - Breathe 2 Relax is another app that's nice for working on deep breathing exercises: - If you like books, I got a free copy of One Moment Meditation at a Wellness event and actually really like it. You can check it out on amazon and probably from your local library too
