How to Use Neuroplasticity to Heal Chronic Pain with Dr. Eleanor Stein

[@virginiamccruden6733]

Finally somebody who is explaining it in simple terms. So many professionals and recovery story people are out there giving advice but it is SO confusing. When you live in Chronic Pain with hundreds of symptoms, low mood, anxiety and toxic self talk you can not untangle all the information. I have literally spent hours, days, weeks trying to understand what to actually do. This is concise and a simple practice that I can put into action right away! Thank you 🙏

❤You were Amazing and Wonderful, Dr Stein!! ♥️

I have joined Dan Buglio’s group sessions that deal 100% with this. I am seeing progress for the first time in 8 years.

Your neoplastic talk is what I have been doing for my fibro and bone pain…..but never knew it was Something that was a workable program for others. Wow. You explained it ! The doctors are always surprised at my pain level is so high. (Takes work ). I drove myself to hospital when I have broken bones, appendix attack, etc. I can’t seem to have the fatigue work well with this, however, as a whole I’m so happy that it works for pain,

Dr. Stein, you've explained all of this very well. I have been studying the work of several others who teach how to unlearn chronic pain. Although all of you share the same scientific information, you demonstrate different styles of explaining it. I love the smooth, easy, simplistic style in which you teach this. Thank You.

100%. This has to be one of the best videos on the topic ive ever seen, and ive seen A LOT of them. No fluff, not dubious, clear and to the point. Im very grateful for this video.

[@debbieroso8749]

The best podcast ever to heal from chronic pain!! Thank you so very very much ❤

[@terrybochansky6271]

Dr Stein, This is the second video I've seen you in. I LOVE your work. Dr Caroline Leaf was the first person I listened to about Neuroplasticity. I don't use Alcohol as a Medication anymore, I now live a Spiritual life, and My Mental Health has improved. I still have many issues to deal with in my Recovery. Thanks to People like you posting on Social Media I have been able to access help. @ 64 years old I know, as Dr Wayne Dyer said it, Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life. The most favorite saying I LOVE, ( LET IT BEGIN WITH ME). ❤❤❤❤❤

This is a talk people need to hear...mind/body connection is clearly explained with gentleness.

Neuropathy pain in both legs and numbness is limiting what I can do. After a stroke. A year later still looking for an answer. Doing more but pain does not go away. Steroid shots and exercise but still pain.

A question for Dr. Stein from a sixty-one year old doctor struggling with CPPS/CP (Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome/ Chronic Prostatitis): Is the pain of CPPS one hundred percent 'neuroplastic' or is the pelvic floor much too structurally complex to be addressed solely by the Mind-Body approach? Would you deal with a CPPS patient from basically the same premise as you would when treating a patient with fibromyalgia or migraine or chronic back pain? I have suffered from migraine in the past and I have lived with IBS for over forty years but the pain of CPPS is a whole different ball game IMO. The penile pain makes you want to throw up and the anorectal pain feels like having a burning rod up your arse. If this comes on in the middle of the night and goes on for hours it's well nigh impossible to convince yourself there's nothing 'wrong there' and 'this too shall pass'.

Hello Dr Amit. I read your comment on KZbin. When I was reading your comment I had to share some information with you because I experience almost same symptoms, Im 32 but started getting these symptoms in my late teens. So it’s not do to getting older !! Daily chronic migraines, between upper neck and lower skull , eyes , feet pain leg pain , ibs and pelvic pain , testicular pain that moves around, penis pain and burning almost like it was a damaged nerve, Allodynia Your pain coming in at night makes perfect sense, I say that because is a 2 part process, tension and autonomic nervous dysfunction ( restriction blood flow ) I was having panic attacks in my sleep , I woke up in the middle of the night and I immediately noticed something, I WAS TENSING MY PELVIC FLOOR AREA , soon as I started to realize this it was a 💡 It TAKES Time to untense , you have a lot of fear , worry s , and emotional stress ,

[@darrend2035]

Your 61 years old and are a doctor, that’s so amazing that you became a doctor to help people and the sacrifices you made at a early age to go to school We all make mistakes in life and we do the best we can with what we know , Love yourself and live and forgive others , practice unconditional forgiveness it’s so HARD lol to do that and need to practice, love you brother!!and don’t be such a perfectionist we are all flawed

[@Conquerchronicillness]

Which hospital did she practice at? Was it Vancouver, Canada?

[@healingnow444]

She worked in Calgary and you could probably find out through her website. Good luck!

[@burningbright34]

As far as some process in the body that’s shutting down mitochondria, was she referring to chronic pain? Or chronic fatigue? When she was referring to a full recovery might not be possible? I am just trying to differentiate.

[@daniellelblackwell]

I think that the mitochondria changes in ME/CFS is a downstream effect of a maladaptive stress response. I think saying that “recovery might not be possible” for this group of people is a dangerous statement and can act as a nocebo

[@HUGEFLYINGWHALE]

In many talks like this its presented as if the patient at the onset of pain was "reset" to no activities, so that now he can gradually come back to life. Thats maybe true for devastating injuries. Unfortunately i suspect in most patients this is not the case, but kinda the opposite, We try to cling to our former activities until the disease forces us to our knees and deconditions us over the course of months or years. All the sarno guys have a nice theory but zero proof behind it. Very frustrating for all of us suffering. Also I believe these therapists take no responsibility whatsoever as in the back of their minds they expect the patient to get worse. If he remains stable or has a spontaneous remission they can write that down as a success story.

[@LisaMarie-rh5yn]

The “Sarno Guys” actually have substantial research & evidence at this point.
