54: The Image that Increased the Pain with Mark Cummings

We have a very special and fascinating episode for you this week! Mark Cummings joins us to share his story and also his recent journey of pain. Mark also, specifically, shares how his base level of pain increased significantly and immediately after seeing an image of his fracture, continuing to show how cognitive our pain really is. Mark is an amazing musician who has a passion for the guitar: specifically his 1980s Martin. Mark also has Multiple Sclerosis and is very close to the release of a new CD, featuring incredible musicians from around Colorado. The proceeds of this album will go to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and their research in battling MS. Please check out this project and his new album (links are below)! Don't forget to save the date: It's coming up soon!! June 8-10, 2018 in Denver, Colorado, the Align Conference will be taking place, focusing on neuropathic (nerve) pain.  All of the various concepts of calming the nerves down will be covered at this conference.
