    That's some wisdom not far spread, not even in the medical world. Chronic pain really makes your life fall appart, and most doctors don't realize this at all, even call it "psychological issue". Not many people understand what it means to live with strong, chronic pain. It completely depletes you, disables you, but often you cannot see it. You can still walk, talk, even work and people are very sceptical, like "what do you have? you're not in a wheely, how are you disabled?" It's a nightmare and you get little to no support yet.

      It feels unreal how slow the progress is on these conditions. I went to a clinic the other day and had to explain to the neurologist what “central sensitization” was. She’d never heard of it.
      I’ve been dealing with chronic pain and sensitization issues for almost a decade now. Lost 30% muscle mass, struggle to perform daily basic activities.
      The only hope is gene editing, which is supposedly 10-15 years away…

    Shout out for covering Complex Regional Pain syndrome. I got it after a relatively minor foot injury, messed me up for awhile but compared to a lot of people I got off easy, for some people it’s crippling for life band it’s such a weird and poorly understood thing. Some doctors are very hesitant to diagnose it, I almost didn’t believe it could be a thing when my doctor told me about it bc it’s just so odd. It can be related to nerve damage but it can also be almost like your brain/nervous system just gets confused.. it can even spread to other parts of your body, like if you have it on your right hand, you can eventually get it on your left hand, or foot, etc.
    Thank you for bringing attention to it!

    Chronic pain had a devastating impact on my life.
    At 35, I was a highly skilled tradesman at the peak of my career, but my employers were unaware that every morning I struggled to get out of bed due to excruciating pain. Eventually, I reached a point where I could no longer continue. When I sought help from my doctor, I was completely taken aback when he assumed I was simply seeking morphine. This left me feeling distraught.
    After persistent requests, I was finally granted a scan, and the results revealed signs of Osteoarthritis in my spine.
    This whole experience taught me that pain is not only a physical sensation but can also be influenced by external factors and other people's perceptions.
    I hope that anyone going through a similar journey has better luck than I did.

    At 11:55, the video discusses the possibility of reducing the strength of pain signals within individual neurons, which seems beneficial on the surface. However, as Hannah Fry pointed out earlier, the brain's processing of pain isn't straightforward; it also considers factors like past experiences, emotions, and our current level of focus or distraction. Essentially, the brain already modulates pain signals, adjusting their intensity based on these psychological factors. This leads me to wonder: if we artificially lower the amplitude of pain signals, might the brain simply adapt to this new baseline? And perhaps more critically, could there be an increased sensation of pain when this intervention is absent? Perhaps I should continue watching the rest of the video, it's just that this question seemed crucial, and I wanted to note it down before forgetting (it would pain me to do so!)😅

      While the topics covered in this video are all very interesting, I was disappointed that they didn't delve very deep into the theories you're presenting here. It switched over more to the mind-body connection and they didn't come back to the brain research earlier discussed. It sounds like we need a combination of both physiological and psychological treatment to get the ideal treatment for pain; researchers have to come together and combine their approaches.

      The experience of pain can be amplified by psychological factors. The emergence of pain is due to genetic/molecular modifications in the neural system. The only way to change it back to “default” is gene editing. Which is at least 10-15 years away…
