The Future of Pain Relief | Dr. Sam Sharar | TEDxSeattle

[@jaxknet]

One of the most underrated Ted talks ever!

[@jacksalvatierra7959]

People who don't suffer from chronic pain, can't know what is like to live with chronic pain.

[@KemelyHernandez]

one of the best ted talks I have watched

[@henryoliver8869]

Great job!

[@amethystflower8799]

obviously you have not had chronic pain

[@Thundralight]

I have chronic pain and I know stress does increase the pain but the pain itself causes stress, It is a vicious cycle. It is not going to help with chronic back pain which I have as you can't walk around with this all day and night, But it may be helpful for some types of pain

[@Sketch1994]

This is still of no benefit to chronic pain. I can only dissociate from my life so hard before my life get's overgrown by chaos

[@The231447LucidDevTeam]

Agreed. I also have chronic pain and distraction can only do so much. As in not much at all

[@debidawson7838]

Assisted suicide that's where pain management has gone. August 10 2022 .her day of freedom her only release from pain after her pain meds taken away along with many others. Reason? Because of the risk of OD. And addiction. Funny huh. But deads ok and they will help .nice really .nice :(

[@Thundralight]

Same here pleading with my pain doctor who cut my meds way down pleading for just 1 more norco a day as he cut a much stronger opiate down to 3 10 mg of hydrocodone per day, I had a severe rupture in my spine of which he was aware was my disc smashing my sciatic nerve and I needed surgery, I was in so much pain i was looking at states that had assisted sucide and his reply was that's an option, I begged the surgeon for pain reliee this but he refused me anything , I had to wait several weeks for the surgery and was in agony,.Reason I was looking at states with assisted sucide is I thought if Iam dying and there is no hope or treatment and I am in severe pain and refused relief that I would have some option than to suffer for weeks or months,

[@Thundralight]

Actually, the deaths have increased due to the DEA going after doctors as they are getting fake pills laced with Fentanyl, Some even dying from Fentanyl laced marijuana-sad. I was also denied any pain medication for throat cancer and radiation burns.

The future is VR sounds scary

[@qwertymonsta]

I've been enjoying my VR headset quite a lot. Going to clubs in VR and listening to music with others is amazing. I have fibromyalgia and I think my pain is less when I'm in VR. I can actually dance without hurting too much.

[@Grits-N-Grace4U]

So use AI essentially. But...when a person has chronic pain 24 hours a day, they cannot live in VR 24 hours a day. Obviously this man has never lived with chronic pain & it shows.

[@BDW0000]

If government cares so much then stop selling cigarettes and alcohol. Freaking corrupt system

[@amethystflower8799]

Maybe just don't do the painful procedures.

[@johnathanabrams8434]

Waste of time watching this

[@Thundralight]

Why do you say this?

[@MichaelGustavsonArchitect]

@@Thundralight because nothing was said besides "distractions help." I was waiting for a point beyond that, but nothing followed.

[@Rae-qf7xv]

Obviously doesn't suffer chronic pain. Useless.
