Dr. Curtis May co-authored research on primary care chronic pain management and systematic reviews evaluating medical cannabis for chronic pain. He is a patient partner and advocate known for his public sharing of living with severe chronic pain. #PainAwarenessMonth 🇨🇦

Chronic pain is a severe mental health crisis too. I wish people recognized pain as a disease in addition to being a severe mental health crisis. Mental health is directly related to pain. It is pain's unrecognized partner in crime.

As part of #PainAwarenessMonth, we're showcasing pain research across the School of Biological Sciences.
