Situations when this may occur:

There are many situations that may result in chronic pain.

• Injury
• Fibromyalgia
• MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
• many others…

Ways to mitigate:

• Discuss this with your partner. Learn what triggers their pain and how they normally deal with it when it flares up.
• Create a plan to avoid triggering the pain, if possible. This may include:
• Choice of physical orientation and bodily position (Standing, sitting, laying down on their back or side, etc.)
• Type or texture of rope (See “2. Choose appropriate rope” above)
• Specific ties and the body positions the person will be tied in to (See “5. … limited limb mobility” above)
• Have appropriate medications or other measures in place to help in case of a flare-up.
• Use quick release techniques (“6. Plan ahead for immediate/rapid release” above) to allow you to more rapidly respond to an issue, if necessary.
