@nickwhite Hello Nick, welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear about your back trouble. I hope the procedure you recently had helps your pain and your bed can be of comfort again.

The ESI I had two days ago seems to be helping-we will see how long this last. Staying positive!!

I wanted to share this podcast I just heard on PBS. Some of it may apply to some of you. It’s worth listening to.

Pain is a "hallmark of consciousness among all beings," writes physician Haider Warraich in his new book "The Song of Our Scars." Pain, he explains, is also gendered, racial and above all so personal that it's the one thing truly our own. Like an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide, Warraich himself lives with chronic pain, brought on by a devastating back injury. We'll talk to Warraich about the biology of pain and how we experience what he calls our most complicated sensation.
