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.
I forgot to mention that: the more you bring your attention to your pain, the more you will experience pain. It seems clear that I have to put a harness on that brain of mine!
