Are You Affected by Neck Pain?

Сообщение AlisaSophia 23 май 2019, 12:42

As I mentioned in my last blog, I am a chronic pain Erase My Back Pain patient as well as a therapist. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1996. Prior to my diagnosis, even I was told it was "all in my head" by my primary care physician. Guess what? It was. I had lesions on the nerves in my brain. After a very satisfying moment of firing that doctor, I set out to find one who knew what pain was and how to treat it. It took me several more years, but I found her. As patients become more educated and empowered, the medical field is going to have to keep up with us - even those of us with chronic pain.

Speaking of my own pain specialist, she reminded me to add here that there are a number of pain-causing conditions that simply defy definition or clear diagnosis. A patient wakes up, sneezes, and ends up with a ruptured cervical disc. Those cases are even more likely to be undertreated, as they don't necessarily show up on an x-ray or a blood test. A confusing or hard-to-pinpoint diagnosis can complicate the patient's ability to have his or her pain symptoms treated.

There is no question that chronic pain has emotional repercussions. Depression and anxiety are common among pain patients, especially those whose pain is not managed adequately. I have noticed that in therapy sessions, often just allowing the client who experiences chronic pain to talk about what it is like is a catharsis in itself. Respect, acceptance, and the ability to hear the person's story with empathy are all healing tools that any therapist can use for the chronic pain client.

Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to positively effect chronic pain, while providing clients with techniques to control pain in whatever ways they are able (Keefe, 1996). Narrative therapy is making strides in supporting clients in developing a different relationship with pain, as well as coping with feelings like anger and depression. Whatever your theoretical orientation, I encourage you to learn as much as you can about chronic pain, treatment options, and the ways in which pain impacts our clients' daily lives. Keep in mind that your client may have been told that his or her pain is unfounded, imagined, or otherwise minimized by health care providers. Your caring, professional support can be a vital part of a chronic pain patient's health care team.
