My current method of pain control is traditional; Opiates in varying strengths for varied levels of discomfort. That leaves me tied to both a clock and a pill bottle for relief, not a good way to go. To be able to take something non-narcotic and essentially "forget" twenty-plus years of pain and the pain-conditioned restrictions in my life would be wonderful. This makes my wonder; how much of my discomfort is a memory-plaited <em>expectation</em> of discomfort versus the actual physically caused discomfort? Perhaps further research can lead us to a less painful life, free of "memories" presenting themselves as "realities", and we can actually feel as we feel in the now, not from the past.

Any advances in fighting chronic pain is a step forward on the frontier to a better life. Hopefully our scientists continue fighting chronic pain and let more of us live our lives as pain free as possible. Truly an eye opening post.
