Pain, Pain Go Away!

SinceI broke my foot last ApriI haven’t had too many pain free days....ok. I haven’t had ANY pain free days.  So, of course, I spend a lot of time thinking about and researching pain.  Here is something interesting I found out:  The pain starts in the brain!  NOT at the ‘supposed’ injury site.

What does that mean?  You and another person both experience a Miniscus tear.  Only one of you experiences pain.  Why?  Because the pain has to do with your ‘threat threshold’ which is different for everyone.  It’s called the Threat Neuromatrix.


I learned this from Dr. Cobb at Z-Health.  He is such a smarty.
