I suffer from frequent headaches, as one way to deal with it I sometimes try to find something that will cause me a different type of discomfort, such as walking several miles. Usually works, eventually.
There are some books about walking putting illness into remission. A famous one is "The Salt Path" where someone with "corticobasal degeneration" brain disease was positively impacted by their walk. (Although the claims are in doubt now because the main author wasn't truthful about other aspects of their walk)
Anyway walking probably a real positive overall!
Doing nothing also usually works eventually for a staggering amount of problems
