Thank you for saying that about “Hurt does not equal harm.” I haven’t done any of Mayo’s pain rehab programs, but I live in Illinois and am a patient at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (as they say, “the #1 rehabilitation hospital in the world ha), and learning the differences between acute vs. chronic pain, both in how pain signaling differs and more importantly—what we can do to about it and how we can continue to live our lives had been invaluable.
It’s something I wish I could better share or explain with folks here without sounding too “woo woo” as my sister says >_< It’s just so hard to encapsulate!

@emo Great word choice! It is difficult to encapsulate all that goes into a mindset shift and being able to approach chronic pain from a different direction. Once I got over the hump of accepting "chronic" vs. acute and learned the tools to apply, I moved forward. Granted, it takes time, perseverance, mental fortitude, and an investment of time, it does help and work.
First, I'm ecstatic you've found a rehabilitation program that is helping you. Thank you for sharing the info. Second, the name says it all...ABILITY. It's so hard to focus on our abilities when we are so engrossed in the downward spiral chronic symptoms present.
#1 rehabilitation hospital in the world?!?! Haha - I beg to differ, but the value that any reputable, well-run pain rehab program brings to folks is irreplaceable in my book. Here's the hospital's website for inquiring minds -

Please don't be shy to share your rehabilitation experience and learnings on Connect. It's not too "woo woo", you never know when it may help someone. Do you experience internal trembling and nerve pain, or do you have other symptoms? Are you comfortable sharing the ways you manage flares?
