What Is Pain?
Synopsis: This week on “Learn Me Something,” Aaron and Rich delve into a pain. Pain is one of the few shared experiences, but not all of us feel it the same.
You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive. — James Baldwin
While everyone knows that physical pain can cause emotional pain, emotional pain can also cause physical pain. This becomes particularly important to recognize in the setting of chronic, medically unexplained pain syndromes. — Howard Schubiner, MD
