Living with #chronicpain often feels like an invisible battle. Many endure their struggles in silence, feeling isolated and misunderstood. Remember, you are not alone.

Our study of people’s worst pain episodes has just been published and is Open Access. The findings are incredibly sad and support the expansion of traditional understandings of suffering. @virginiamci.bsky.social @keithmeldrum.bsky.social @gabriellepage.bsky.social www.jpain.org/article/S152...
