Pain is not something you can fix the root of with medicine.
Any and all medication for pain covers the symptom, pain. It does not cover the source of the pain, a dysfunction, deficiency, or excess. Numbing pain with medicine also reduces some of the body’s mechanisms to
Pain is not something you can cut out of your body.
There are a lot of people who make a living telling you your pieces are wrong, or this extra piece is hurting you. In almost all situations resorting to surgery in the pursuit of avoiding pain is not a successful endeavor. I have known people to take drastic measures to avoid pain, and I have seen people take drastic measures to beat pain. Several years later, the avoiders are still avoiding.
Pain is not a purposeless tool of suffering.
Pain does not exist as a sensation or a concept without purpose. Pain is a tool of the communication system our body has with our mind and our awareness.

It has been a real journey since November 18th when I got into a 60MPH car accident, and I am still doing so much to gain and maintain physical wellness. Mostly just happy to be alive. I have been helping people with pain and function for 7 years, and this is my first experience with a severe personal injury beyond a sprained ankle, or throwing out and in my back.

Amazing post. Do you have any other ones you can drop? I adore super stuff. 🙂
