And this is why it's so important when people who talk about chronic pain are those who had actual experience!! Her talk was great!

Great video!! Thank you 🙏🏻 Unconditional love to all ❤️ ♾️ 🌌. When I was in intense pain, I would wake up daily Thanking God/Universe/Life for healing me and taking my pain away. Being grateful in advance is very powerful! Keep an attitude of gratitude regardless of your current situation!

Relatable. I've had similar experiences with the mind playing tricks on me. It's liberating once you understand it.

Pain is real from real-world traumatic experiences. Yes, I also believe , partly in what she's saying. It can be psychological, and one needs to work w your brain and any help you need. I broke many bones when a car hit me. Although I feel safe, these techniques dont work for me and without help from medication, well I wouldnt be able to stay here. We must acknowledge pain associated with accidents, illnesses, surgery, etc. Its real . I wish I could eliminate mine, but you can actually see it in my gait. Thank you.

Yeah, i don't believe it completely either. Doesn't matter how I've felt or what's going on in life... it's just always there

Thank you Lauren, for sharing your invaluable perspective. I'm a homeopath and will gladly integrate your perspective in the care I offer patients who experience persistent pain.

Great talk about your experience. Thank you for sharing it. A few resources helpful to me, trying to reduce chronic pain, have been Dr. John Sarno's methods back in the 1990's and Australian Dr. Lorimar Mosley. The workbook "Protectometer" has been very helpful to work thru it. Best wishes to your continued improvement. Its sure a journey rather than a destination.

a great talk - its a pity that many comments below make no distinction between real, physical pain from, say, a broken bone - and learned responses which can cause or exaggerate chronic pain - making it appear to be every bit as real. Well done Lauren. many thanks.

@bismarkbizmark5639 3 ай бұрын

Neuroplastic pain is totally real. It has a partly or completely different cause than physical injury. But brain scans can't make any distinction between pain from physical injury and pain generated by the brain through hypervigilance.

Well done Lauren - it's an important talk and mirrors what I have seen working with persistent pain clients as a Physiotherapist.

Failed Back Surgery sufferer here, belly button down for years now. The brain damage done to me by the pain was awful. Glutamate in the brain lowers from the constant pain and Auvelity raises those levels helping recharge me for the pain fight. Cymbalta and Gabapentin both had horrific side effects so bad I couldn’t take them. No real side effects so far with auvelity. I hope this helps someone drowning in nerve pain.

Please tell me more, i am one of those many people with consistent pain my whole life, and i am fed up for pills and pills, hospital bills, operations which truly do not bring promises come true. I am 67 and still run every second day, but lately the chronic pain in my heel prevents me from enjoying my runs. I want to learn how to tell my brain i no longer have pain messages, please help me. I want to do one marathon before i turn 70, i promise myself that.

I just went thru a pain rehabilitation clinic in Rochester Minnesota. My feet and legs are burning on high and I have sharp pain when I use shoes. So for 26 years I didn’t wear shoes because the pain increased with using shoes. So I stared the program October 7th and finished October 28th. It was 16 days from 8-4:00 each day. So I learned breathing, stretching, relaxation and PT exercises. I will continue the program when I get home. On the 15th day I walked with shoes to and from each class and the last day I left my wheelchair in the van and walked into the hospital with shoes with pain. Now I practiced walking with shoes for 2 days before my last day. I realized thru this that when I walk with shoes there is more pain but I know it’s not “hurting “ me physically. When I remove the shoes after walking I do feel relief but I put them back on to walk again. I also have started to wear them when doing something quiet like reading or watching an old movie. I’m so happy that I went to PRC. My world is so amazing walking and not using a wheelchair when leaving the house. My God is awesome and I praise him. My spiritual life with the God of the Bible has improved greatly thru all of this. I will pray that you too can find some relief. ❤️

I was starting to feel like a failure that I can't even get pain right or figured out. It's really hard to do mental gymnastics when I'm flooded with pain and depression. I'm trying to navigate it all.

@bismarkbizmark5639 3 ай бұрын

Pain education has value, even if it doesn't benefit one directly. Try reading The Way Out by Alan Gordon. Basically there's nothing to lose, because the book is an easy, entertaining, relaxing read. So if nothing else, one gains that much. But there are many examples of people in that book who believed their pain was from a structural pathology but in reality was from an overactive nervous system, like the woman giving this talk.

My dad is 85. He used to be 6 ft tall. He is now 6" shorter. His latest MRI clearly shows age related disc degeneration through out his body , hence the loss of height. He has lost most of his muscle mass too. The MRI basically shows a completely warn out body in every area to include bone on bone where his cartilage has worn away. HE HAS NO PAIN !

MRI is relevant some people suffer horribly and quite frankly lm tired of people minimising their pain because they or a relative don’t suffer. Great for the, but don’t you dare minimise someone’s pain based on one experience. It’s cruel,

Pain pills and ritalin. Learn to live with it, people hate you, you’re a burden, you feel ashamed of your body. The obsession and circling in the mind about the pain and or cause of pain and or loss of quality of life can be mitigated with stimulant medication, I prefer ritalin and opioids. Morphine and oxy, just that there is a shortage of medications.. though there is high demand, no supply, and you realize how imperfect the world is and you hate that you hurt yourself trying to be perfection.

Good talk however she doesn't understand Meditation. Likely she's referring to relaxation techniques that are called Meditation. Also the Buddha taught 2, 500 years ago what she discovered. Also this is same experience of those with PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks.
