Adulting with Chronic Pain and PCS

The majority of our actual problems are invisible to the eye. Not to the mind. Our minds never seem to unsee our problems. Our bodies never seem to unfeel or unregister the pain.

Pain is subjective. Pain brings people together. Pain destroys current plans, pain allows new avenues and lifestyles to be explored. Pain management or the decision to change the current state may lead to a few adventures. Pain is debilitating. Pain is draining. Victory over pain brings satifcation.

Pain is an influencer and pain is a content creator on its own.

This blog will try to explore how allied services in collaboration with your healthcare practitioner’s advice can lead to serious lifestyle improvements by mitigating the effects of chronic pain. Please do not consider this blog to be personalized and tailored for your body and your unique situation. This blog is about exploring alternative as well as common routes to manage pain based on research, testimonies and personal experience.

In a Netflix documentary called “My Beautiful Broken Brain” a young women’s worldview literally changed after a severe stroke. Admittingly most people dealing with concussion-related complications longer than expected, have a different approach to daily life. Post Concussion Syndrome has accompanied many TBI sufferers leaving the majority without proper support en route to full recovery and normal functionality. Telling someone who most likely suffers from light sensitivity to “Look at the bright side” does not seem like the best piece of advice. A lot of progress has been made on PCS and the help available has increased over the last decade. Large gaps exist where proper dialogue occurs between doctors, allied services and TBI patients.
