@serenebutterfly.bsky.social"The decision whether to take a painkiller is a catch-22. Whether I choose to endure the pain or take a painkiller and face the side effects, it feels that I lose either way." www.brainlesionandme.com/pain-or-pain...
@apainprincess.bsky.social“Confined to my bed… #Pain and illness are insidious… You hurt, you’re sick; you can’t leave the house. #Anxiety develops. The claws of #depression come out… Hours pass; it could be minutes… feeling every microsecond in the small fibers of your body.” https://buff.ly/IFhazBV #PainAwarenessMonth

@myseveralworlds.comI am surprised by how often the 1-10 pain scale is used here. I'm glad to hear so many do not like this scale!
How would you rate your pain today?

@pedspainmed.bsky.socialThank you for following along with us throughout #PainAwarenessMonth
We are honored to be doing our part in caring for children with pain.
@ifaiarthritis.bsky.socialFor many of us with chronic pain, 1–10 doesn't tell the whole story. Sometimes an image, color, sound, or word says more.
For #PainAwarenessMonth: How would you describe your pain without using a number?
@myseveralworlds.comI made this graphic years ago to help people visualize life with #ChronicPain. It reflects conditions relevant to my own medical history — not every painful condition that exists.
Some pain ends. Chronic pain can last for decades.

@apainprincess.bsky.social“There is still a part of me that wants to push through, to pretend I can manage what I had planned and refuse to let my symptoms dictate my day… The acceptance can feel like a loss. But it can also be an act of #kindness towards myself.” https://buff.ly/x6hwpg4 #PainAwarenessMonth #ChronicallyIll

@apainprincess.bsky.social“People who see us ‘able’ to carry out activities are oblivious to the pain involved, aftermath or inability to repeat that activity. The swift flare from ‘normal’ pain to being entirely unable to speak can also be perplexing.” https://buff.ly/3XV4FYt #PainAwarenessMonth #CentralPain #NervePain
@kbi-uhn.bsky.socialHow would you describe #chronicpain? 🤔
September is #PainAwarenessMonth: a reminder to raise awareness and elevate lived experiences to help reduce the stigma around pain and improve care for those who experience it.
@asahq.bsky.socialSeptember is Pain Awareness Month!

@axs-studio.comVoltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels transmit pain signals along nerves in the peripheral nervous system. Because Nav channels are outside of the brain and spinal cord, they are being explored as potential targets for a new class of non-opioid pain medicine. #PainAwarenessMonth #chronicpain #sciart
@sandrawoodsmtl.bsky.social2 years ago, I was preparing to co-present a TED-type talk on neuroscience & #chronicpain at @qnjpi-paintalks.bsky.social - and how my art practice uses neuroplasticity for both my chronic pain & my Mild Cognitive Impairment (from the same rare disease)🎤
