Читать книгу The Bellator Instinct: Reclaiming Your Life From Chronic Pain - Артем Тюльников - Страница 5

First, you need to know your life is not in danger. A great number of people with chronic pain have no major structural damage in their bodies. Your first mission is simply to make sure your condition is not critical. Once you have that realization, which is one of the important prerequisites for healing, you can begin the real work.

Doctors are trained to look for physical problems first. This is good and necessary. But sometimes, even when they find something, the treatment does not touch the pain. You might feel lost and unheard.

You are not alone in this. In 2023, one in five people already lived with chronic pain. That is roughly one and a half billion people worldwide. Yet, there is no reliable pill that can make it simply disappear.

The truth is, chronic pain itself is still a mystery. In medical schools, they spend very little time on it. I had to become my own expert. I learned that for many, the path out of chronic pain is through the mind. This was true for me.

I cannot say for sure that your pain is neuroplastic. I am not trying to convince you. But if your problem persists after every test and treatment, and your doctors have no more answers, then what follows may help you. It is the path that worked for me when nothing else did.
