“There is a general tendency for all of us to think there should be a close relationship between a stimulus like an injury or a noxious event and the degree of pain the person feels.

In fact, that’s generally wrong. But it doesn’t stop us believing it” https://t.co/9mQVwybbqf

Seems more behavioural than looking at identification or treatment

Smoking and back pain!

A pretty linear association here https://t.co/xeZ9WOQvtg

Back pain is so much more than just structure or stability
