Undertreated chronic pain destroys your mind, body and soul.

It would be interesting to see the difference between patients who get treated properly and recieve PAIN MEDICATION, and the majority of the rest of us who is left to suffer because Drs won't provide pain medications.

Our brains are tired from fighting chronic pain in our bodies.

If somebody says yoga one more time I swear to God I’ll smack them. I’m to crippled for that LOL

I have central pain syndrome and Adult Onset Tourettes. Both of these are results of brain damage/neural pathway destruction and damage as a result of undertreated and untreated chronic pain. When I told the practitioner with the clinic that I was a patient of about the central pain syndrome diagnosis from neuro and the suggested treatment for it (increasing the amount of pain meds), the practitioner instead opted to inform me that he was writing my last script under him and that he was dropping me from his care- without writing a discharge letter for me. I then proceeded to develop Adult Onset Tourettes to go along with the central pain syndrome diagnosis. I'm grateful for my current pain management provider who understands that I have the two conditions that are results of brain damage and has granted acceptance for my neurologist (neuro) to have me on a benzo to help with side effects of the brain damage even though he (pain management) has me on opiates for helping to keep the pain tolerable.

admit it ! nobody knows chronic pain ,but chronic pain PATIENTS ! so let us SUFFER in peace !

If anyone out here reads these comments and has even a little compassion, tell the CDC they were wrong to FORCE TAPER stable pain patients medicine!!! We are being tortured so people who choose to abuse drugs can live, but we die!

One of my family went through medical school and precious little is taught about chronic pain but what is taught that anybody who asks for pain drugs is a "drug seeker". Pure and simple. Addict. They are taught that even a broken leg will heal fully in a few months so pain meds do not need to be prescribed but for a very short time. They are TAUGHT that! I saw the book.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2006. It’s total bullshit! After suffering with chronic pain for 24 years, I finally know that I have MBS, (Mind Body Syndrome). My hypothalamus has turned on my pain centers to protect me from emotional issues. After trying all western and eastern medical treatments... that eventually failed.. I’m going to my first ayahuasca ceremony in 9 days. I can’t wait to fix my Grey Matter with the help from Mother Aya! All you Drs & scientists need to find out if your patients/study groups are empaths. I’ll bet you a fortune that most, if not all, chronic pain sufferers are empaths! Try treating the body as a host for our spiritual beings. Maybe you’ll finally get somewhere.

I tore off my leg in 1995, and had it re-attached, but that was a 16 year disaster. Now, I have chronbic pain in a number of different ways, My non-union fracture moves around inside my leg,m and it hurts like you would think it would, the bizarre feeling of a broken bone in you muscle tissue. It is the strange feeling that your bones are moving in the wrong way after a fracture. It works on me like nothing else. I figured out if you can stop taking pain drugs 1 day out of 3, the efficacy level from long term use is much higher

I suffer from CRPS , it's a death sentence, nothing touches this pain level. I understand why they call it the suicide disease. Of course pain will have an effect on the brain. I thought this video would have been more helpful, too bad.

I can't have adequate pain Medecine for Cervical Spinal Stenosis with Myelopathy because I don't have a terminal diagnosis. So just suffer and wait to die because I am still breathing.

avascular necrosis of hips is f-ing my life up. was a pro ballet dancer now i can’t do shiii

nothing like healthy people speechifying about people in pain can just go think them self's well again with a yoga bear idea , people in pain are suffering now in real time, this CDC debacle needs fixing (90 mg per day max) , talk about that first ! , then this other stuff at some other time , before one day due to misfortune you might be the one in pain , then be like us millions now , the old , the injured , the sick , , suffering due to no fault of our own , talk about THAT!!! , maybe yogi can think covid-19 away to

I'm certain there's good information here, but it is so stinking difficult to understand people who "cannot communicate in full sentences", useing tangents in every broken sentence. 😒

but what is in yoga making the cortical areas thicker......is it the breathing, the movements or both?

So what? Does this mean back chronic pain sufferers high risk of Dementia or what what does it mean

I hate She says: they are really in pain ..... I wish pain at least for some tone for everyone who says they are really in pain .... what do you mean by their are really? :((;;

Does this also have to do with Nuroplasticity? It would seem so as any form of meditation helps to build it.

Are fibromyalgia patient screened for Myasthenia Gravis ? There is a lot of crossover in symptoms.

My regular Dr. retired, the interim Doctor wants to cure my CRPS/chronic pain with physical Therapy. I have not changed or increased my pain medication. This provider will cost me my life if this doesn't work. I am not nice to be around when I have pain. CRPS is non-stop pain.

Neuromusculoskeletal pain / trigger points can be attributed to < 51% of chronic pain

Okay I first I want to give some background on myself. When I was a baby age of 9 months. My father and I were in a car train accident. It was icy out and Dad thought the car was going to be hit by the train so he grabbed me and he jumped. Unfortunately slipping on ice we were both sucked under the train. Dad was able to pull himself out. But tiny me got continually ran over until the train is able to stop. Dad lost a leg above ankle on his left side. Sadly I lost both my legs my left side above knee and on the right a hip disarticulation. I'm 47 now, and I'm in so much nerve pain that it makes me suicidal. On top of the chronic pain from amputations I've had a lumbar laminectomy to remove an arachnoid cyst. A failed spinal stimulation TENS unit surgery. And I've had to have my neck fused at C 6 and 7. Both my elbows shoulders severely arthritic. My right elbow has to be replaced this year as there's no joint left. The doctor could stick his finger between the bones in my elbow at the last surgery. My right elbow has had 27 surgeries to keep me going. I live in 10 out of 10 pain everyday. The only thing that helps is the medical cannabis as a breakthrough on top of 20 mg of methadone. That just keeps it at a level to where I can tolerate things a little better. I know it's going to continue to get worse and I'm scared. I'm scared of my senior years. A question I have for you is you were talking about the gray matter and white matter and sense chronic pain sufferers have has changed in our brains how is that affecting us? This why I'm so depressed all the time, why become so introverted, why I've lost all enjoyment of doing things? Live in small area in Illinois I just can't find the right help especially being mentally wise. No one understand. I need to talk to somebody but nothing works. Could you recommend a good doctor to talk to that would understand

Very hard to understand this speech. Broken sentences.

Fibromyalgia is a wastebasket diagnosis! "COLORADO!"
