Exercise
In addition, the PAIN journal recommends exercising as a subcategory of physical activity. The physical activity can include any movement in the body, such as taking transportation, working, performing household chores, playing, and recreation. Thus, exercising and performing any type of physical activity may help to reduce any type of pain in the body, including shoulder pain and hip pain.
While avoiding daily chores and performing physical activities will not minimize the pain brought about by fibromyalgia, doing so may help to minimize anxiety and fatigue, two of the most common symptoms in fibromyalgia which are difficult to deal with. Moreover, those who have persistent pain and will continue to perform physical exercises despite the pain can end up with overactivity which can be troublesome for the patient.
The best treatment for fibromyalgia pain is to educate the patient about the disease and help the patient to prepare for any upcoming symptoms, including hip pain. This can somehow help the patient to mentally and physically cope with the dreaded symptoms.
