[TheForge] pain OT

[lee robbins]

the body is a programmed prejudiced organism preferring recurrent patterns. Pain that is inadequately treated at the outset sets up its own new nerve pathways that then entitle it to our attention. The earlier you can distract from the pain by getting lost in things outside yourself, the less it commands center stage.Think mother lifting a volkswagen off her kid. counter irritants can flood the circuits and hide the pain in innocuous blur, think ice, heat, ben gay, massage, touch,Tens. None of this is easy.
