It's not our fault


Don't blame people for their pain, report says

"Chronic pain – no matter where it strikes – is a problem not many of us really understand."
People need to hear this over and over. Unless you've had continual, unrelenting, serious chronic pain you can't know what it's like. Sorry, that's just the truth. And people don't understand it, and try to minimize it in others.

Sorry. I tend to get a bit rant-ish when I'm talking about chronic pain. I'll shut up now.
