The Chronic Pain Breakup

There is a difference between *managing* symptoms and pain, vs. actually *treating* the underlying cause of the pain. Learn 10 new tools you can add to your CRPS Pain Care Tool Box, that will help you go beyond just managing pain, so that you can eventually rely less on pain management and learn to rely on yourself to get long lasting pain relief.

Welcome to Part 2 of this discussion on CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome), where you'll uncover some of the misinformation out there surrounding pain managing strategies used for CRPS. In the world of CRPS, pain managing strategies are not all created equal. I wish I could they we're all no harm, no foul, but the truth is, there are some pain management strategies that, while they may relieve pain in the short term, have a long lasting, negative impact on your condition because they may exacerbate the underlying issue. In this episode, I'm clearing up some of the misinformation surrounding:- Electrical Stimulation for CRPS- Pain Numbing Remedies (like ice, numbing creams, nerve blocks, injections, ablations, lidocaine patches, and opioid medications)- Ketamine for CRPS- Immobilization (physical or functional)- Physical Therapy- Modalities- Desensitization therapy- Vagus nerve stimulation Listen to Part 1 Here: https://www.alissawolfe.com/podcasts/the-chronic-pain-breakup/episodes/2148050961 Stay tuned for Part 3!!

I'm doing something a little out of the ordinary in this episode... because I'm sharing the details of my faith journey in this episode, along with the lessons I've learned and the insights my faith journey has given me as it relates to chronic pain. Culturally, it's believed that science and faith don't mix, which is why I have avoided sharing details of my faith story even though it is a big part of who I am and why I'm here. But health and wellness is not just physical and mental, it involves spiritual wellness as well. So in the name of healing, I hope that by sharing my story and these insights, you find something you can connect with or relate to.

In this episode, I'm discussing the failure of the health care system when it comes to chronic pain. Despite holding doctors and the healthcare system in high regard, patients with chronic pain continue to be failed by the very institutions they put their trust in. From being denied care to experiencing gaslighting and making them wait, chronic pain patients continuously face numerous challenges within the health care system that can actually make the pain problem worse. We'll explore the why the failures of the health care system are detrimental to patients and talk about the urgent need for compassionate care, the shift towards proactive and preventative chronic pain care, and empowering patients to take charge of their health. Join me as I aim to shed some light on the chronic pain paradox that affects millions worldwide.

Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252 There's always this doubt that says: "Will this really work for MY pain" The truth is, it's easy to fall into this trap of believing that your pain is completely unique and untreatable. In this episode, I'm going to explore why having chronic pain can make you feel a little bit like a "special snowflake" and how that mindset may not be helpful for you and could be holding you back from healing and recovery. As a physical therapist, I was trained to look for the unique abnormalities contributing to each patient's condition and then create a unique treatment plan that would try to address each of those pieces. So in that way, no two pains are the same. But I had to realize that ALL pain has this one commonality, regardless of the unique variables present. So we'll talk about this commonality among all kinds of chronic pain and how challenging the "special snowflake" mindset can really open up new avenues for you.

Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252 In this episode, I'm going to explain how the different treatments for chronic pain help to address the problem of nervous system sensitivity. In order to do that, I've got to explain what some of the different changes are that happen in the nervous system that cause pain to persist and get amplified... Because there needs to be a different treatment that addresses each part of the nervous system sensitivity problem. That's exactly why the solution to chronic pain is not just a drill, a stretch, or an exercise. The solution to chronic pain is a whole system. When implementing a whole system of strategic drills, strategies, and information, my clients have been able to see some pretty amazing results.

Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252 Emily is a nurse practitioner and mother who struggled with chronic migraines since she was a young girl. She got to a point where she noticed it was taking less and less to trigger her migraines and was certain her nervous system was part of the problem, but just didn't know HOW to address it. Emily dove in to the Chronic Pain Breakup Method and is now living a different life because of it. Today, after just 16 weeks, Emily says her migraines are less intense and frequent AND she has significantly less brain fog, fatigue, fear & anxiety. She's experiencing longer stretches of days without migraine and now has practical tools that she can use to reduce the duration and intensity of her migraine significantly. The best part was that it didn't take any woo woo or strange practices... She says the program as a whole is what enabled her to change her situation for the better, although she admits that the neuroscience education and learning a simple practice of pacing was more helpful than expected.

Those who haven't experienced pain have no clue just how vastly and widely it impacts and changes your life. In this episode, I explore one reason WHY chronic pain comes with so much stigma that leads to minimization and the hiding and masking of pain. AND I'm doing something a little out of the ordinary for myself, I'm sharing a piece that was written by one of my current clients, many years ago, documenting the extent pain has changed her life. And in this story I hope that you find yourself somewhere in her story, can relate, and feel, not so alone. Special thanks to the writer, Amanda Gieve, for sharing this piece with me and giving me permission to share it with the world.

In this episode, I'm sharing the TRUTH about arthritis and degenerative changes that should give you some hope for a brighter quality of life for you if you have stubborn pain associated with these "wear-and-tear" type issues.

Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252 When you have chronic pain, you learn to hide it behind a mask as a way to cope. It's a way to feel connected to those around you, to, sort of, fake it to fit in. Humans crave connection, but could you imagine being part of a community where it's safe to be in a state of healing? Could you imagine a community that is okay with having uncomfortable conversations, that supports growth and vulnerability instead of viewing it as weakness. Community, connection and understanding is a vital component to healing the chronic pain problem, which is exactly why I've built this essential element into my program, the Chronic Pain Breakup Method.

Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252 One of the biggest challenges I see people who have chronic pain struggling with is STAYING ACTIVE. In this episode of the Chronic Pain Breakup Podcast, I'm sharing 10 Keys to Staying Active when you have stubborn, persistent pain, so that you can do more with less pain.

This was one heck of a heartwarming conversation... Let me first give you a little back story... I met Chanda about 8 months ago. She was struggling with the YEARS (decades) of chronic pain and illness. She was doing everything she could to try to feel better... EVERYTHING. She got to a point where, like so many, she couldn't imagine her life could be any better. In addition to sciatica, back pain, and shoulders that felt like glass, the worst of her pain was the constant, debilitating migraines. After chatting about how much she had been through and already tried, it made sense to me that she would be skeptical about trying something else... But despite her skepticism, she decided to give it a try, figuring since it was science-based, it had to be worth a try (spoiler alert... it WAS!!). She (hesitantly) got started in the Chronic Pain Breakup Method and her results were too phenomenal not to share! Within a matter of weeks, she started noticing a difference. Something clicked... and before she knew it she had reached her goal of being able to work out every day. "To go from, not just bed bound, but SOOO ILL in bed, to now, I've got something everyday that I'm doing. That is incredible. I really never thought I'd be able to do anything ever again." But my favorite part about Chanda's story is that she didn't have to believe it would work for it to work. "I'm able to manage it and function much more than I was before... and it didn't take extreme effort. It didn't take belief. It didn't take anything woo-woo. It just is something that works." In this episode, Chanda shares her inspiring story of transformation, and talks about: how she met her goals what was missing from her pain care what the drills were like what she learned in the program what it was that kickstarted changes in her body And if you want to take that leap of faith and try something new despite being skeptical, despite being scared, despite the fear... it all starts with a free phone call with me where we connect 1:1 to get clear on whether this is an approach that could help you tackle your chronic pain problem.
