#9: Ignoring New or Unusual Pain
Many people are used to pushing through aches, especially if they do not want to complain or seem dramatic. But new, sharp, worsening, or unusual pain can be the body’s way of asking for attention. Brushing it off may delay help and make a small issue harder to manage later.
