Hello
Nearly smashed the laptop two days ago tripped over it and nothing worked, cleared up in the computer engineers shop, now all smiles.
Want to discuss Chronic Pain
Acute pain tells the body I have a toothache I need attention, sort it. Eventually it goes away after a visit to a dentist.
Chronic pain will never go away, a patient with an amputated leg will feel pain in a stump and will try and scratch the foot that is not there, Also if you have an arthritic joint changes occur so the joint is not going to get better, Nerves become trapped, joints become damaged, now the pain does not go away this is chronic pain
Chronic pain becomes a problem that will not go away the sufferer will experience this pain in various levels, these levels can be different in each patient, what is bad in one person say level 8, may be at level 5 in another the patient becomes selective and will feel that negative feeling differently, generally each patient will be effected to a different extent. hence the patient can suffer different levels of disability and will need more levels of medication.
Now I am beginning to wonder what other people feel about this, as chronic pain is so selective, and disables patients at different levels and may be the same over many years or getting worse although generally is the same as it was earlier
I find this interesting and I tried to square the circle over my many years of disability and would like to know how the disabled feel about this as it is interesting how the nerve systems work
What do you all think regarding this
All the best
BOB
