"My pain isn't who I am, but it controls what I can do, and in this world what you can do is a huge measure of who you are." -unknown

In this week’s episode we chat about night shift versus day shift and which is the coveted position in the world of healthcare. We also discuss chronic pain. In the midst of an opioid epidemic it is becoming increasingly difficult to get pain medication in seek of relief. At times the medications barely feel like a bandaid. As a sufferer of chronic pain I began looking for a way to decrease my pain in hopes to have the ability to run again- an action I was told would remain in my past. I’ve have successfully been able to run and go from taking almost 4grams of Tylenol a day for pain to rarely taking it! We discuss the pathophysiology of how pain works and the circuit pathway in relation to the brain. We go through proven research on ways to train your brain to communicate differently to rewire your brain into tolerating what those with chronic pain suffer from. Listen to the podcast with an open mind, try it out and share with us the changes you experience to help encourage others.
