An excerpt from the blog “In my clinic, I have a large patient population of chronic pain patients, and it is common to have the chronic pain issues overwhelm these patients’ lives. When I ask most of these patients what is their biggest stressor in their life, they usually will answer that the pain is what demands most of their time and energy and affects them the most.”
