Myths about pain


        MYTHS ABOUT PAIN
Many of the problems arising between doctors and patients appear from the perceived and common myths regarding chronic pain: It's all in your head
To some extent all pain is in your head. Because pain is a purely subjective experience — pain is what you say hurts!
Just ignore that pain and it will go away
Many forms of chronic pain simply cannot be ignored. The person experiencing severe unending pain may be able to use distraction but the pain may well still be an intrusion into every waking moment.
Nobody ever felt as bad as you
Although it is true that no-one else ever felt what you feel, it is likely that there are-others who share similar experiences to yours.
God is punishing you for a past mistake .
It is highly unlikely that the Creator has taken the time to specifically torment you for some past misdemeanour.
You've been abusing your body so take the consequences
Unfortunately pain occurs in those who abuse their bodies and also
in those who were previously fit. Chronic pain plays no favourites.
All pain is the same
As mentioned earlier all pain is subjective and is thus different for each one who experiences pain.
You just look too healthy to have chronic pain
Since no-one has yet invented a pain meter what is observed by an outsider can be totally misinterpreted. Until the day an external pain measurement device is invented some patients will appear to casual observers as though they are pain-free.
