Dear Terrry,
The first step is to make sure that medical causes of the pain (e.g. angina, musculoskeletal, etc) have been eliminated. Once your doctors have done this there are other things that can be done. Exercise is a great start and I would encourage you to continue that as recommended by your doctor. Biofeedback techniques and other things like prayer and meditation help some people to overcome lingering pains. Stretching is important and can help keep you limber. Finally, sleep is something we all have too little of and more can help. If all these fail there are perscription medications that your doctor can prescribe that may help with the pain. Good luck.
