Pain Literacy

I am a sports and exercise medicine physician with an avid (possibly now obsessive) interest in the practical clinical applications of pain neuroscience

Finally after over a year of work my online module is done. Amazing rendering work by Kymberleigh Bray and super support by Di Robinson.

Well done on so many levels. I am hoarse from trying to communicate how neurobiologically inaccurate and practically unhelpful linear labels (eg neuropathic pain) are in pain so good to finally read it in this piece.

What a super effort in the right direction by my Pain Revolution comrade, Dave Moen.
What do you know, I even get a mention on pages 51-52!
Highly recommend this book as a practical template - https://t.co/BEQ8RTvQGu

@DrPeteMalliaras Wonderful but very little translation in the ‘fix it’ real world sadly😞

[Pain Literacy @fried_kal]

An excellent cause borne out of tragedy and sadness. https://t.co/1QMlDqmWAu

@alsolounges Don’t get too excited. These days I’m the Cliff Young of cycling. Cheers.

I'm riding again in the Pain Revolution ride in 2020. Please consider supporting me. I'm turning 60 soon so I need some inspiration and as much support as I can get!

@DrJohnOrchard ´Half’ is generous.

[Pain Literacy @fried_kal]

Hey health industry ... pssst .... a little reminder ... it’s not about us.

[Pain Literacy @fried_kal]

@Tash_Stanton @tendonpain Congratulations Tasha et al! ‘’corticomotoneuronal excitability’’. What a mouthful. Something tells me this ain’t going to fit into the ´light reading’ category.

[Pain Literacy @fried_kal]

I get this email but have no access to the articles (cos it's expensive!). I suspect my thoughts would align with most of these articles based on the headlines ...

[Pain Literacy @fried_kal]

@DrJohnOrchard @rmthalliwell @ctn_anzca @ANZCA @ACSEP_ @apaphysio @ESSA_NEWS Couldn’t agree more John. Wrote a blog on this - https://t.co/H6GzYiih3N

@DrMarcRusso Totally inappropriate interpretation of this data. This study is not high quality at all and the conclusions are minimalistic. https://t.co/eyJ5snZvfM

[Pain Literacy @fried_kal]

@ProfDavidHunter If course thus is the case. Is predictably brought on by the fundamentally flawed, entrenched and simplistic perspective that pain is something you can see on a scan. Attempted discussions with many surgeons addressing this flaw remains an excruciating task.

[Pain Literacy @fried_kal]

@PeteOSullivanPT I wish I had $10 for each time I’ve heard and read people being told by their surgeons - ‘’ one day you will need a joint replacement’’...

[Pain Literacy @fried_kal]

@Retlouping I fear we are not just doing that but are commonly adding to the problem. I asked a perfectly robust 27 year old today with 4 years of severe LBP & ‘SIJ instability’ how much clinician info influenced his ‘damaged’ view vs opposite and he answered “90%” of it!!

[Pain Literacy @fried_kal]

@DrLouiseTulloh ‘Bone on bone’ (and all degen) can adapt well unless someone ‘points the bone’ ...
