Dr. K im really sorry to hear what you have gone through . I hope someday you can heal from your trauma ❤😢. Personally speaking , experience does make one understand pain better but also just having empathy and compassion towards another being is equally important. At this moment my fibromyalgia is flared up ! Everyday I’m feeling pain in places I haven’t felt before! I was doing so well in my health but just recently I feel really low again . My PTSD is effecting my health again . I just think little things can contribute to these setbacks

The stigma attached to pain and all that goes along with it is unbelievable. I have heard so many health care specialists say "Pain never killed anyone." I say many people have lost their lives due to pain. (Suicide and loss of quality of life are just two examples of how pain kills)

Any health care specialists who says pain never killed anyone is severely mistaken and way off base. Work in an ER for just 90 days and you will realize that statement is false now from an experiential point of view. Trigeminal Neuralgia is a condition they have nicknamed it the suicide disease because the pain is so horrific some terminate their lives to get relief. You are absolutely right. No one should ever judge someone who drinks or takes drugs of any kind to sooth their pain,. It's unbearable to have 24 a day pain with no relief and no improvement for months or years. I went through that and it's miserable and people need to know you can turn it around especially now that we can activate your original blueprint from conception to regenerate and repair everything in the body for the price of a cup of coffee a day. Does that make sense?

Our culture is one of guilt. You're flawed if you show any of your flaws. Are you guilty of overcomsumption of calories? You're a pariah. It doesn't matter if your consumption is on a par with skinny folks, YOU are bad if YOU are fat, no matter what. Same thing with pain. I have been lucky in the doctors I've discovered. I bend over backwards to make sure THEY are not endangered by prescribing ME meds. In september it became obvious that someone was stealing my pain medicines from my desk at work. Reluctantly I spoke with the SRO (I'm a teacher) and he investigated and discovered exactly nothing. Subsequently I had a disciplinary hearing for having the temerity tp bring my prescription medications to work. Turned out that it wasn't actually a policy I broke, but once it was clear that there was no policy about the meds, after forcing me to allow them to jot down every detail on the label of my pain meds, they said, "Well, aren't you in violation of the regulation that says you can't work whilst high?" (paraphrasing a lot).... and I told them that it was a violation of my rights that they demanded access to my prescription label on penalty ofbeing fired, only to imediately discriminate against me saying that wasn't it an infraction to come to work while being treated for intractible pain (coupled with significant malabsorption).

I have suffered severe back pain due to a botched back surgery. My pain is worse than it was before my surgery. After months of going back to my surgeon and telling him something was not right. He looked me in the eye and told me to find a new doctor because he was tired of fooling with mel. A few days later he called and said my xray showed 2 of my screws had backed ouy and need to be removed. I went back and had them removed. He then told me that should fix your pain but it didn't. I have been suffering with this severe pain for almost 7 yrs. now. I found a new dcotor and he said you need to go back to your original surgeon and thats all he had to say. What are people like me suppose to do. I want off of these pain meds, and I want to be able to sleep in bed instead of s zero gravity recliner. I want to be able to get out and enjoy life. I am 69 and have no problems other than my back pain. Why do doctors just shove you away instead of getting to the bottom of the problem?

I completely concur with you. My GP worked at a clinic which would not prescribe opioids to ANYONE. She ended up with trigeminal neuralgia. Because of experiencing first hand, that which her patients were suffering with, she left the clinic and now practices at one which does allow prescription of opioids. We had a very candid conversation in which she pointed out that opioid overuse is obviously concerning, but creating an environment which disables a patient’s ability to LIVE is just as, if not more toxic and detrimental.

I suppose we need to consider the restrictions DEA placed on primary care doctors regarding dosage and length of time opiates are prescribed. Many have referred to pain management clinics to avoid prescribing all together. I know those limits were increased recently but doctors still hesitate as their license is on the line. Where does 'do no harm' fit in? This is truly catastrophic for so many of us. With proper medication we could have even a portion of life back. My meds have not been adjusted for 5 years this month. I wish they could feel it, no longer able to work, go anywhere, the depression....omg, etc. The clinics are the worst, imo. Not to exaggerate but they feel like slaughter houses. People, humans in tremendous pain, lined up like livestock. It's like the assumption exists for everyone you're drug seeking. Then I think of how it began....the AMA decided chronic pain was under treated which opened the doors to unethical practices. I have no answers but this is not working.

One day I asked how she was able to be so happy all the time. Her answer has stuck with me over the years. She said you can get up everyday and be dying with cancer or you can be living with it, the choice is entirely yours. This has helped me many times. Now that I am facing a similar situation I am so grateful to her for such wisdom. While this doesn't exactly address what you are saying I hope this women has resonated with others.

Honestly, it’s helped me to see them as little psychopaths, looking at us as the helpless victims paying for their mansion and Mercedes. I’m kind a jerk like that because I have the same amount of education and was extremely successful before I got sicker and obtained correct diagnoses, didn’t get the right help, as you also mention. Fibro is like hEDS, they think it’s just all in our head, but they found the cause of fibro, it’s real. And with hyper mobile EDS, they just haven’t isolated the gene and developed a diagnostic test yet. That’s because they don’t believe it’s real so no researchers or drs want to focus on it, also charities don’t really lobby for funding or do any research, just pretend to be fighting for us while making money off the very community it supposedly serves by hosting expensive conferences where all the drs get paid lots to talk lip service but do nothing to get the diagnosis properly supported by medical community and SSDI.

You, Sir are one of the few and rare doctors who have compassion and empathy. Thank You ❤. I finally got a diagnosis of Lupus, Sjogren’s Syndrome Raynaud Phenomenon Mixed Connective Tissue Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis. As upsetting as it was to hear this I am grateful that they have a diagnosis for my pain. I survived colon cancer with an original doctor who said that there was nothing wrong with me. I had to find my own surgeon who immediately knew I had cancer. I have had to advocate for myself and it is so frustrating when a doctor dismisses a patient. Thank You for teaching us to advocate for ourselves. Much love and blessings to you and your family.

I’m a chronic pain patient with severe intractable pain, that gets lessened with medication. *I have my spine fused from T4-L1* so basically my whole spine is stiff like I have a board nailed into my back, but whenever I go to see a doctor for pain its as if I need to beg them for help and even so, they’re unwilling to give a therapeutic dosage like they had 10 yrs ago. Now I’m basically bedbound most days because the pain is too great and they don’t give out therapeutic dosages anymore. Don’t get me started on being forced to choose between anxiety and pain- I can either take benzos or opioids but not both any longer. So I chose to help my pain even if my anxiety needs treatment. This world is CRAZY! I feel doctors should have to feel the level of pain we do just so they believe us.

I don’t need my doctors to know exactly what I’m going through. In fact I wouldn’t wish my suffering on anyone. That being said I need them to hear me and when I tell them I am suffering and can’t live like this, I need my doctors to try and help me find a way to live with it. Being gaslit, being left to suffer, being treated like you aren’t worth helping…it makes the pain and everything worse. I was in the ER recently and got diagnosed with a DVT and the ER doctor came back in after he told me what was wrong and said that I seemed really scared earlier. I told him I was. I told him I had already had a hard time getting help from doctors and every time I get a new diagnosis I get more scared because I truly don’t have a doctor helping me. I am severely anemic because of a fibroid and now that I have a DVT I can no longer take birth control so the horrible pain and bleeding is going to restart. I told my doctors and asked for help. How was I going to manage the pain and bleeding from the fibroid now that I can’t take NSAIDs and I’m on a blood thinner. They basically told me to just bleed out and they don’t care at all about the pain. It is so painful and I can barely breathe because of the anemia and they acted like I was talking about a paper cut. My doctors have never cared about my pain. I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t in pain. I get treated like I don’t deserve help

I've been fortunate to have an excellent pain doctor and anesthesiologist for 17 years. It's a trust relationship, he believes me he trust me, I trust him I believe in him. I don't expect him to completely understand nor do I expect him to experience pain but I do expect him to believe me. I know it's extremely rare to have a good pain doctor/Anesthesiologist to dispense the proper pain meds, I can tell you for sure I would take a gun to my head if I did not get help with pain so pain does kill. Pain changes, changes the composition of your brain your thoughts your feelings it just changes you ~chronic pain in my opinion, is no way to live at least I do get a little relief with the medication I'm on. I realize it's a rarity to have a good pain management situation that's why I'll probably never be able to leave the city I'm in but, that's OK.

The last 10 yrs have been extremely difficult because I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia & neuropathy which is debilitating plus last year I was diagnosed with degenerative spinal disease with fluid pockets on my spine with herniated disks! I’m on gabapentin, pregabalin & duloxetine which helps me somewhat function but causes severe brain fog that interferes with my daily life & still deal with pain!! I’ve been getting epidural steroid injections which are a bandaid & my back Dr is saying surgery is next if the injections don’t help which they aren’t really. I’m terrified of having surgery on my spine so I’m looking into finding a holistic MD to try alternative methods. I don’t like taking opioids but I have asked for them but just for when the pain is so bad I can’t sleep & none of my drs will prescribe any unless I see a pain management specialist but the closest one is over a 5 hour drive from where I live!!

Feeling pain is so important. I've wanted to be a doctor for a while, but I've been considering DO instead of MD after my foot amputation. Aside from being rural (where DOs are very useful), viewing the patient in a wholistic way is one of the most important things to me. Along with being compassionate and understanding to each individual situation. It's what I value when choosing my healthcare team. It's what I value for my future in medicine. Pain gave me so much perspective on the medical field. A doctor who genuinely understands you, or at least tries, is a hard find. I want to be that person for someone one day. You are very inspiring to me in that way, because you seem to be that person for people.

My husband has had chronic pain for 25 years and his meds were cut to the point that instead of being able to do normal things, he's stuck in bed 20+ hours a day, from his severely undertreated pain. I'm also a chronic pain patient from 28 yrs of nursing,( can u say blown discs? Sure I knew ya could!) Also go to the ED 15 yrs ago and get a shot of opioids to stop the 3 day migraines.

If every dr approached things like you do there would be a lot less stress and suffering among patients. 😊👍🏻 I have ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia and those are illnesses that a lot of doctors don’t understand and tend to gaslight patients who have them rather than educating themselves on it or at least allow me to explain these conditions and advocate for myself. I have had these illnesses for 40 plus years and now I suffer from CKD stage #4 as well. I’m probably going to look for another doctor soon because the ME/CFS is pretty much being ignored. I don’t like switching drs but sometimes I guess it’s necessary. I just don’t know how to tell her without her feeling like I’m trying to criticize her or put her down. I’m not saying she’s a bad dr I just don’t think she gets it nor is she willing to let me explain how it affects me and pretty much everyone else who has it.

He of course he’s an insurance’s best fraudulent friend making false reports to deny help I need. He hurt me & yelled at me behind closed door. The rate your Dr comments were horrific on him. He’s a camillion for money not a healer at all. As a nurse working in the hospital my career I would never think this could be true. Some doctors could be arrogant or frustrating but had the best interests of their patients. So now my experience is there are narcissistic money hungry deviant doctors among us especially in the insurance industry.

He made it clear that to much time has transpired for it relieve the pain, but that he would do his best to keep it from getting worse. Which is what I was looking for.

Also, some doctors are unaware of the level of pain they can inflict on patients with the procedures they perform.

I live with chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis and not taking care of old injuries when they happened due to health care being not affordable. Even with insurance(which is a scam) because they can pick and choose what they pay for. It drains all of your energy, makes it difficult to perform daily tasks, causes depression and anxiety so it lowers your quality of life by a ton. I probably need surgery but cannot get any imaging done due to cost. The only Doc that helped gave me Tramadol and I was supposed to take 2 twice a day and sometimes all I needed was one pill a day in the morning. After about a year they decided not to give me a refill because they wanted me to get imaging done and go to physical therapy. Doctors do not understand when u tell them u do not have insurance and cannot afford that type of treatment. They just take the medication away.

I had to call my brother who was able to get hold of the Fellow on call and they fixed the problem. Unfortunately for me, the pain that I suffered became chronic which led me to become addicted to the medication. Fast forward to 3 years later and I had a physician cut my meds off without any tapering of doses and I ended up doing something that I never thought I would do. Now, my pain is well controlled by buprenorphine and I am greatful. I just hope I never need to go through that again because Idk if I would survive the withdrawal symptoms.

A few years ago I told my pcp about the constant pain I have in my right hip, it started after a fall. He laughed right in my face and I've never mentioned it again because I don't think I'll be believed. I just live with it. It has made me hesitant to even say anything is wrong to my Dr...the one that laughed at me retired.

Well doctors do not understand how having chronic pain can basically ruin the quality of your life. Not just physically but mentally and financially and then you're sitting there with not being able to sleep with excruciating pain and the doctors telling you to take some Tylenol. Or worse doctor does surgery, makes it worse and just dumps you. Meanwhile the suicide rates since we started labeling chronic pain patient (studies showed 90% were taken the med within the norms of how people take there meds, meaning people tend to occasionally forget to take a dose etc) as addicts and cut off there opiate medication that 90% of them were taking as prescriped gone up 600%. Those who have not killed themselves certainly thing about it. No one can really understand what it is like to have your life change to the point that doing something like getting a drink is a painful endurance event. Meanwhile the person may have been running marathons just a year or two before. Things like going on a amazing trip does not sound like fun because all you can think about how much pain you will be in if you have to stand to long for lunch. Also chronic pain over time cause major problem in the body from the constant stress. When you are in pain all the time getting one to two hour of total sleep is a gift. Needing to read something 5 time because you can concentrate is the norm. But just like most thing done in our curropt world good intention are really that. When the CDC guideline were put in they choose doctor who made millions lying about statistics and really how opiates work just basically for their purposes of money. Also a lot of people who are addicts themselves or have family members who have an addiction problems really know somebody who is taking opiates responsible because people are taking opiates responsibly usually are out there announcing it. So people just see the bad side and they don't see the 95% of other people who take pain medication as prescribed and you would never know it because basically that medication doesn't affect them other than pain relief. Once they have been on that medicine for a few weeks they have developed a tolerance so they're not zoning out and sleeping in the middle of the day and things like that. Also one thing an addict will do will always want to increase their doses because they're looking for the side effects that give them the pleasure and the relaxation where most chronic pain patients just want the pain relief they don't want the side effects because they want to actually be out there and live their life. They don't want to be laying in bed zoned out they want to be out there doing something with their family or going to the store or just being able to live and do something. The fact that most doctors do not even understand the difference between dependancy and addict is amazing. What is even worse is politicians who basically made some of these guidelines into laws in these states and now some of these same politicians are calling the state and asking like why their grandmother can't get pain medicine. Will you basically made the laws for her to suffer. 80% of pain medication are prescribed to people who are over the age of 50. 80% of people who are addicted to opiates are under the age of 30. 90% of opiate addicts never got a opiate prescription from a doctor. 92% who became addict took there first dose not for relief of pain, but to get high. Meanwhile plenty of doctor have turn patient into test subject and some of the treatment like spinal epidural steroid injections are basically not FDA approved and if something goes wrong it can be terminal. Yet many doctors before they'll let you get even an opioid prescription require you have these injections like once every 3 months. They're usually suggested not to have more than three or four in your whole life. In fact in countries like New Zealand and Australia steroid epidural injections for pain or illegal because of the horrible consequences when something goes wrong. The more injections the more danger that when you inject the medicine it will cause the free-floating nerves at the bottom of the spinal cord to start glopping together instead of being loose and this causes extreme pain. There is no way to relieve it there is no way to cure it and usually the patient knows right away there's a problem and the first thing the doctor tries to do is get you out the door and forget who you are. The other problem with these doctors is when something goes wrong they shove you out the door and you have basically no recourse. You call them back the man an appointment the next thing the police are knocking on the door and telling you that if you show up again you're going to be arrested for trespassing. Also finding a lawyer to do a lawsuit is a lot harder than finding a lawyer to do a lawsuit against the police officer. I will be the first to say that other choices should always be tried especially with chronic pain. Chronic pain usually needs a whole host of different treatments and usually finding that using whatever help even 5% is worth keeping and adding to your treatment. But to tell you 95 year old grandfather he cannot have a perocet after hip surgery and the man is crying and his vital are becoming unstable because you do not want him to become a addict ( when he has had surgery and pain meds before) is the type of doctor who should be fired and make sure he is not on drug himself. I knew someone this happen to there grandmother and 6 hours later her heart could not handle and died of a heart attack. But the community was safe from some a morphine or Demerol. Also back in the day patient stayed in the hospital and got pain shots. So by the time you were released you only needed a few day if anything. Well now days they flood the surgery area with lidocaine which numbs the area and so you're thinking I feel pretty good. So the doctor gives you a prescription for Tylenol and you go home and all sudden that lidocaine wears off and you are now in excruciating pain. Of course this always happens when it's on a Saturday and the doctor is nowhere to be found so you go to the emergency room. Well the emergency room is going to sit there and tell you what we can't give you any pain medicine it's up to the doctor so you just need to go home and wait till Monday. So you have a family member who's suffering greatly and some family members and says you know I know somebody who can get some Percocet for me just a few pills would really help you a lot. So you're very well intention child or brother sister or whoever goes out there and thinks they're actually buying a few percocet pills. The problem is is there is absolutely no pharmaceutical grade opiate pain medicine on the street anymore and everything is fentanyl. So when you're good faith and because you love your grandma and don't want to see your suffering you give her a fentanyl pill thinking that she's getting a percocet and her pain will be relieved. The only problem is Grandma never wakes up again. What make it worse is sometime it is the doctor who treat you the worse. The problem with doctor is their egos and if they cannot find out what the problem is because it maybe beyond there training or experience in telling the patient and saying you know I've done all these tests and I'm not sure what's going on and so I'm going to send you somebody who is better trained or maybe can look at this in a different light and have new ideas. But instead doctors just cut you down and basically tell you that you're lying and that your piece of s*** and don't come back because we don't want to see you again and you're wasting our time. Also once you've been labeled as drug seeking forget it. These doctors once you label the you you're ruined and this is the other thing a lot of pain doctors now are forcing people on Suboxone which is not a good pain medication and then another doctor sees that you're on that and they just assume you're an addict. Sometime these pain doctor are the worse. As so much of the thing they try to con patient to get especially those with chronic spinal issues is just horrible. I have had 4 back surgeries and all they have done is ruin my spine. My DDD is so bad I basically have no disc left from my shoulder blades down.

A big issue is the US DEA gives doctors a guide on when they are allowed to prescribe narcotic pain killers. It basically says that a limited dose ( no more than 15 pills/doses) may be prescribed for acute trauma. Anything else must have 2 trials of non narcotic medications for a minimum duration of 2 weeks each or a referral from a pain specialist. They cannot for example prescribe narcotics, even a couple pills for things like ear infections tooth infections to get you over the worst till the antibiotics start working. 😑 😢

My pain management doctor didn’t understand what I experienced until he started to experience it. He actually upped my dosage without asking because he finally got it. I will always say that doctors don’t understand what a pain patient goes through until they experience it for themselves.

Great live stream man, I agree with you doctors have to experience pain to understand someone’s pain, thanks for sharing your personal story’s, I have experience pain too, me and my ex boyfriend dated all of high school from 04 to 08 after high school his parents found out we were gay and stopped us from talking experience a lot of pain after that, and sometimes it’s hard having cerebral palsy! I really enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy, I really wanted to be a anesthesiologist, it takes a special person to be a anesthesiologist or CRNA and you’re one of them! You rock man, you been hocking loogies?😂

Post-op and as part of my cardiac treatment, I'm supposed to wear special compression socks. Well, there's no way I can get them on, and my husband's back makes it too painful for him to help me. The cardiologist just couldn't understand the difficulties I had with complying with this treatment. I sure wanted him and my husband to try to get too-small stockings on one another's legs so they'd understand how hard it is to do, and how hard it is to suffer the pain of having it done.

Ive been suffering with severe Fibromyalgia chronic pain along with several other symptoms for the past 42 years. I have never come across any of the 78 pain specialist who have treated me that they themselves feel my pain. Once I asked a doctor "When were you diagnosed with Fibromyalgia" Well the doctor replied "I dont have Fibromyalgia" I replied " Then how do you know how I feel" Chronic pain Fibromyalgia has stolen my life from me!

I never want anyone to know my pain. Ever. But, there's still no way for someone to understand either unless they have. I say to people, if you're not bleeding you're lying. I've actually thought there needs to be euthanasia for people. To answer your question I have several autoimmune diseases and I have overcome a lot but this is a whole different situation. I am hopefully on the road with my Rheumatologist if that doesn't work... really need a doctor that will euthanize lol

I can understand where the person was coming from who said that doctors need to experience pain in order to treat/ understand it. If doctors are willing to listen and treat people as individuals they can successfully manage pain. BUT women's health is grossly neglected in medical school so doctors may fail to make a diagnosis because of lack of knowledge. An example is women with endometriosis going 10 years before a proper diagnosis. Bindi Irwin was on the cover of a magazine recently after FINALLY being diagnosed with endometriosis after 10 years of agonizing pain. I believe she had to bring up this diagnosis herself because one of her friends had it

There are female gynecologists who say they didn't understand painful gynecological procedures until they experienced them themselves. They believed their training instead of their patients. I give them credit for being willing to change course after realizing they were wrong, but I really struggle to not judge them for not believing their patients.

After Back surgery put me in near constant pain some twenty odd years ago, have been going to Dr's ever since, If I have learned anything in all that time being, "treated", I've learned this: In the treatment of chronic/constant pain Dr's treat the Drug and not the pain. From every session beginning by providing a urine sample to the writing of the Rx, all their interest is in the drug and at best how effective it is. That's it! If I bring up any symptoms re: the pain or challenges coping with the wound or injury the Dr can be seen looking out the window, looking at his watch, cleaning his fingernails, etc. anything but paying attention to what I may experience other than is the drug working!?!. Of course it's much more than that, but for the sake of brevity that is the gist of the medical treatment.
