Pain... A Fascinating Conversation About a Frustratingly Complex Topic

Pain is not a linear equation. This is an incredibly complex topic. I think you’ll like it. At least you’ll learn something about a subject that all three of us think about a lot. We can see the same pathology in various people, yet their expression of pain will be vastly different. Why is that? Is pain more prevalent today? Is pain more severe today?When is pain adaptive? When is pain maladaptive? Furthermore… is pain always dangerous? Do we always need to rest? Why do the three of us, all of us with fairly spicy back pain, exercise when our backs hurt? These are just some topics of the asynchronous conversation we’re having today. We often say the same thing during our previous episodes. That was not the case today. This is probably one of our best episodes to date. This is a public episode.
