Could tension in your marriage lead to pain?
If you have a chronic illness and are in a relationship, have you ever felt physically worse after having a conflict with your significant other? If you have, it’s not just you — a new study has found that tension with a spouse can lead to worse symptoms and pain and vice versa.
In the osteoarthritis group only, researchers also found the reverse: that when participants were in greater pain, they were in a worse mood and experienced more tension with their partner the next day. Lynn Martire, one of the study’s researchers, hypothesized that this wasn’t found in the diabetes group due to differences in the two diseases.
For example, drinking all the orange juice and not replacing it may not be a major issue unless a diabetic needs juice on hand to treat hypoglycemia. Likewise, if a person with arthritis needs adaptive equipment, having it in a certain place may not be a big deal to the healthy person but even moving a walker a quarter of an inch can place it out of safe reach and trigger a fight.
