Complete truth. My husband has been a surgeon for 50 years and we have witnessed a backslide in physician integrity, zombies treating machines. And yes they are being taught that pain is natural to the human condition. Their role is to teach US to accept it. Oh and since they sit back allowing entities to establish treatment standards, they can hide behind those bureaucrats remaining free from responsibility as patients suffer the results. It is a corrupt system.

@berdman4865, living with intolerable pain is terrible, especially when you had place hope in relief through corrective surgery.

You might consider consulting with a pain clinic or pain rehab clinic. For example see this information:

Have you worked with a physical therapist?
