The evolving science of pain makes clear that social and medical/psychological messages play a huge role in the experience of pain. Reframing the story of why someone hurts opens up new avenues for healing.
The only expert on someone's pain is that person themselves. Healing from persistent pain requires a team but the team must be led by the patient. The clinician must be like a drivers ed. instructor. Guide and advise but the patient must drive.

Chronic conditions like persisting pain do not resolve with acute care solutions. Working toward creating long term change will not happen quickly. Patient autonomy is the best solution.
People in pain frequently move more stiffly and with less freedom of movement. This can actually keep the pain active. One critical goal is to keep moving and to work mindfully to expand movement options.

This information is challenging all my old stories. It was hard to deal with that challenge. Once I began to see the connections and I could see the truth of the information in my life, my pain began to fade. 4 months in and I am about 50% improved after 30 years of pain. GH
1. Does pain mean that my tissues are damaged? No. Pain that persists well beyond normal healing times generally means that the protective response (of which pain is a part) has not faded in the normal manner as healing has progressed. This hypersensitivity of the protective response is driving the pain.
2. Can I live well with pain? Yes, though challenging it is possible. Often with taking back valued activities of life, the pain begins to fade.
