My late wife took her own life to stop Chronic Pain. See our documentary Pain Warriors about that whole saga. It can be watched for free on Amazon Prime and TubiTV and a few other places. I receive no renumeration of any kind from the documentary. Pain Warriors is five stories, four with people with Chronic Pain and one of a doctor punished for helping people with Chronic Pain. Two of the people took their own lives to stop the pain, one being my wife Karen.

Consider that, to my knowledge, we still have no simple objective test that will tell me that you are hungry. Hunger is a mild form of pain.

We have a long way to go before we have objective measures of Chronic Pain.

We must put more effort in finding solutions for Chronic Pain.

For Karen she was told "The pain has become fixed in your perception". That was the best the Medical Establishment had to offer her early on.

I don't buy a lot of this "chronic pain is psychological" thing at all.

Obviously the dentists appointment caused psysical damage which then everyone gaslit her about.

You can find many example of people eliminating chronic pain through extreme measures.

Even suicidal level of "unexplained" back pain can often be completely healed with STRENGTH exercises, not regular physiotheraphy.

This youtuber has many example: https://www.youtube.com/@lowbackability

You can also read about many "miraculous" healings in the low carb, carnivore and even some in the juice fasting community.

100% agree. Every time i read an article similar to this, i see it as a pro-pain propaganda article almost. I highly doubt every 1% of chronic pain suffers have their pain caused primarily from a psychological issue instead of a physical one. It's easy to say "you have to learn to live with the pain and manage it mentally" when you're not the one being stabbed, every hour. every day.
