The Problem With Chronic Pain

Pain is important. We need pain. It's an alarm system to say, hey, be careful. But if you have chronic pain, it's useless. And so that's why I hate the saying no pain, no gain. It's ridiculous. If you're experiencing pain, you need to get rid of it because it can lead to chronic pain. So then pain becomes a dominant experience. Things like music, food, all this may sit in the background now because if you're so much in pain, it overrides everything.
