Hello @sailormom460, welcome to Connect. Thanks so much for sharing your journey, and what a journey it's been for you since 1972 having amputation from cancer. I'm sorry for all you've gone through.

Your words are wise and you definitely seem like someone who "gets it". Perhaps its the scientist in you! Given your perspective on your brains power to reshape pain and your keen insight based on experience and observation of cause and effect, I feel that you would very much relate to and appreciate the video about Central Sensitization Syndrome by Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sletten from the Pain Rehabilitation Center. Are you familiar with CSS?
