the files give rise to don't really have to go see starts january 27th. it can feel like getting hit with a sledge hammer, a constant revise, and pressure being squeezed and advice. it takes many phones, the pain. it tells us something's wrong with our buddy or was us to be careful. still, many people long for life, that's free of pain. so we're can help be found here and in good shape the

food can turn the most beautiful days into a nightmare. pain. sometimes it emerges all at once and sometimes it just won't go away with the body goes through when experiencing pain is complex. for example, if we cut our finger damage cells send out a pain signal. the electrical potential of various nerve endings is altered. as soon as this reaches a certain threshold and electrical impulse travels via the neural pathways to the brain, the brain triggers reflects to prevent further injury. but there are also other pain receptors. the so called c fiber is produced a longer lasting dollars. sensation of pain, which causes us to go easy on the affected area. they transmit the signal more slowly to the brain via the nerves and the spinal cord. in the fall of us,

the incoming nerve impulses are filters and transmitted to sensory cortex finds out which area of the body they originate from. the lift, a lot plays an important role in the emotional response. pain causes stress and anxiety. that anxiety can also make the pain more intense relief on the other hand is provided by the pituitary gland here, endorphins or release. the block pain receptors in the brain areas under the prefrontal cortex are active when we become aware of the pain. its focus of attention is limited though. if we are distracted, we become less aware of the pain. the pain can be annoying or unbearable, but it serves an important purpose. it makes us respond to injury and keep our bodies intact. but this complex system can also go haywire. in the case of chronic

pain, it warns us constantly and often without reason. and the brain, like in the case of psycho sematic pain, can cause the problem itself. that's another reason why it's often difficult to treat pain effectively. some remedies focus on reducing the pain stimulus for interrupting the transmission to the brain. others can help us cope with pain, sometimes trying out all the possibilities is the only option so that the nightmare eventually comes to an end developed at this university of montreal, canada, the mcgill pain index measures the worst kinds of pain, including migraines, intense, recurring headaches,

a reno calling caused when kidney stones block parts of the urinary tract. crows, disease and inflammatory bowel disease which causes blushing and stomach cramps, giving bath 1st as the contractions, then the pressure of the baby's head stretching the perennial. i'm guessing stone by put it and found in central and south america, it's venomous. so toxic people compare the pain to getting shots and fiber mile to a chronic condition, which triggers constant pain, especially in the joints. nancy geiger was 27 years old when she 1st started getting pain to begin after so kind of the for so some told in the beginning i had diffused symptoms most it began with muscular pains on, particularly in the morning. and it was difficult for me to get going appropriately

and i had problems taking the stairs, stating. and then as the months went by, i started developing more symptoms and told me i've got problems. i'm pins and needles all over my body. sleeping problems in sonya stuff. hopefully emma stuff noises kites. but worst of all was the joint in deep muscle pain across her entire body. she struggled to do the simplest things. they 5 topanga, she sang, i was totally incapacitated law. i remember after my daughter was born, the parent was bad on one night and i wanted to get up and prepare some meals for her. we have 2 steps in our apartment, and it was too much for me to go down to steps into the kitchen. but i put on the kettle and prepare her formula and i couldn't do it on to spend on 2 enemies to my high school. it took us for nancy geiger to be diagnosed with fiber on my alger a disorder, apparently linked to the way the central nerve system process as pain the result.

let's enter sure. the rule ecologist basically told me to take pain killers when needed on, and she recommended doing something relaxing. like yoga. she said she, that was the only treatment available. if you move this guy didn't want to have that. and then i tried with where will this and it's, it's fine if it's like this at the age of 32. listen, what about one on a 40 or 50 or 60 life place, but the idea of just popping pills and relaxing, didn't satisfied her. she started looking for alternatives and discovered a research project at the university hospital in my book. sure nothing 1000 you at the show here was a pain researcher cottage fema is trying to change the way her patients perceive pain by using electrical impulses to influence the barrel receptors at the base of the carotid artery. power receptors don't just regulate blood pressure, but also indirectly influenced the way we perceive pain. chronic pain seems to

switch off barrow receptors. preventive level that's up to a nation where there's dentist barrel receptors are no longer properly active. the brain stem doesn't get feedback about what's happening in the body and stopped at some regulatory functions when they are active bearer receptors pass on information to a small part of the brain stem that regulates blood pressure, pain, blood, sugar, anxiety, sleep, and or stress on some water, so she's developed a device that can be used to reactivate power receptors. it creates impulses independently of the heart beat on the comp, if you get something like little electric shocks, of differing strength into something, some don't hurt at all. and to the course i do notice the stronger ones, the maximum. they make you flinch briefly for them, but it's bearable side from the sensitivity threshold is raised

a little each time khaki team a can see the effects on her screen. so you can see the blood pressure and pulse rates here. the white dots are the barrow receptors and each dot shows the bearer receptor is responding. and that means that pain is being inhibited at that moment . the very 1st treatment god results. let them s law after getting home from my 1st treatment. i managed to sleep through the night in the hospital. i haven't been able to do that for months and sight more. nothing. and i woke up in the morning and felt like a new person from best fish, but i know you mentioned nancy geiger got the stimulation treatment 10 times along with psycho therapy sessions and the pain disappeared. the detailed after i left so much the treatment has transformed my life and especially when i looked back, i was so restricting,

i couldn't do anything. now that was especially hard with the children. it was. this has been life changing with the best thing that could ever have happened to me is cont, conti. and 6 years later, her symptoms have not returned. and for over 80 percent of those who took part in the study. the effects of lasted for at least a year, the, the latex from the seed capsule of opium puppy is the 1st time can known cements, and the child was cultivated, and what is today iraq over 5000 years ago. nowadays, there's a range of analgesics available to us. the classic is a c to follow citic acid, commonly known as aspirin. it's used to reduce pain, fever and information. power sees them all, helps with headaches and tooth. i can also lower a temperature. ibuprofen helps relief mild to moderate pain and fights inflammation . psycho snack relieves pain in the muscles and joints itself in useful sports

injuries. opium. poppy is also still used, medicinally it's chemically converted into morphine, making it 1000 times stronger than in its natural form. morphing is the most commonly used opioid for severe cancer related pain. also effective against severe pain, metabolic so it's mainly used for acute injury, co operative pain of conic. but in general, all i am killers have hidden health risks. the nicholas hanging on loves to play ice hockey, but when he was younger that month led to a space of injuries and 8 operations. he was mostly given the time a zone to treat the pain, but it triggered severe side effects. the ones when you're in a situation like that, and you're in pain and they give you something and it helps you don't question it. you just take it metabolism is prescribed for acute severe pain. intestinal

colic, abdominal cramps are high fever, but not for inflammation. but there are frequent debates about its usage because of the side effects. it can cause the nicholas heading initially took metabolism without a problem. but 2 years ago, he suddenly came down with a high fever in runs. at some point the fever kept getting worse, and then i was given something for it to call on things. so and i developed a really bad sore throat and slope was entered difficulty, swallowing and a headache like a bad flew doctor to the doctor's did a blood test. they found extremely few granular sites. a sub group of white blood cells, meaning his ability to fight off infection was almost non existent. a grammy will

say, ptosis is known as a possible side effect of metabolism. i kind of, it's for a granular side toast is a dangerous but very rare and actually easily travel disease. and if i, if it's detected, it's normally recognized by 3 symptoms with a sore throat fever and whitish deposits in the mouth and throat. so you should be getting my one to protect him from infection. nicholas heading up was isolated and given and fusions to increase the granular sites in his blood. and then come in, he's somehow point came that really minute by minute. things got better with drinking, eating then with the headache costs and everything. costs notes and whose name was a little more. after a few days, nick on us heading now had recovered and could go home. the side effect he suffered is reportedly far rarer than those caused by other pain killers. doctors

say much more widely used medication, like only be proof and, or dipole phonetic are much more dangerous. i have, i, uh, well, we have only 50 to a 100 cases, a year of the granular side hoses of which only a fraction di we really have thousands of deaths a year with the other over the counterpane. medications, for example, from gastro, intestinal bleeding from cardiovascular failure, or from kidney failures, that's kind of self that's out in order to me and such a. one example is the narrowing of coronary arteries, which limits blood flow to the heart. raising the risk of a heart attack, dr. see a connection with both. i do proof and, and i close enough people who for years have taken large amounts of these pain killers, are most at risk. i'm exec, what's other side? it is very likely that this is related because we know that these drugs and

especially the closer nag, have very strong side effects on the cardiovascular system, including heart attacks and have some talked. that's why doctors continue to recommend caution when it comes to pain killers. continuous use and particular can be life threatening. so it's best to seek medical advice. it's suffering from persistent pain. a headaches on one of the most common disorders of the nervous system, the brain itself, con, fuel pain. there are no nurse except as located in the brain tissue. usually a headache begins in the notes of the muscles and blood vessels surrounding the head, neck, and face. and usually the causes nothing serious, unless it's accompanied by new or logical symptoms such as confusion or trouble concentrating. they could also be something seriously wrong. if a headache sits in very suddenly or is unusually severe,

then it's best to go straight to the emergency room. but however, i'm pleasant. 90 percent of headaches, i'll be 9. these include migraines, tension, headaches, and cluster headaches. the good news is they can usually be treated. stefan teufel has specialized in pain medicine for more than 10 years. so he's an expert on the different types of headaches. one especially severe form is cluster headaches, across the cops. now people who suffer from cluster headaches, good, very severe pain on one side of the head. and usually it's focused behind the eye. and also me, i choose up and gets red. 10 in law who worked on this august plus the headaches, a comparatively rec, mostly effect men. unlike migraines, in migraines,

a migraine. so if you'll feet for 10 minutes into chromebooks and mix with must about it 10 minutes you'll feed to remove the oils. doesn't sound good. it's just the most of the see just punch and it has a nip to it on us from the school to thought it finally ground, which helps release essentially, else. and i just, that's the pungent pulse. then the so when the power comes into contact with the skin, it activates the kind of wounds on pain responds saxon vomit, schmidt sites, winters. all patients tell us that it feels like it's drawing the heat and pressure out of the head. and down towards the feet, snap austin cops and the whole progressive muscle relaxation techniques can also help patients focus on tightening and relaxing various muscle groups in sequence that commit leave tension, which in turn helps release the headache knowing how and why headaches arise can

also help patients learn how to cope, but sometimes headaches can be a sign of something. most tvs. failing to think of some headache symptoms could indicate a serious illness. indeed, that could include a ruptured brain aneurism, or meningitis, which is an inflammation of the protective membranes of the brain. that's something that a doctor needs to look at in an aneurism. the 1st symptom is usually a sudden agonizing headache, and someone with meningitis will often have a high fever. stop by once other conditions have been ruled out, patients can experiment with things that might help. some people find cold, useful others, whoops. busy the heat to the head dry if example relieve headaches that it can do to tense nick muscles. this would have but i would always encourage patients to try to figure out what helps them what relieves the pain and headache suffers, often find very creative solutions that teen people who suffer from headaches.

annoyed receptors. that's why there were high hopes that kind of this might help tackle a whole range of humans, not just pain, but also inflammation, muscular tension, and anxiety. pain, therapist, maya flag and back has tried cannabis products on many of her patients. she can recall when the prescription 1st became legal and there was an explosion of interest. but often the results have been disappointing. in schools i'm had to, most of our patients wanted to stop the treatment again because it wasn't good enough and reducing pain. dish mouse effect, and that belongs mission of heisen. core results. little scientific proof. pain experts have grown skeptical the maya fi conduct. notice from the few studies that do exist,

that kind of the noise are most effective in treating nerve pain. but by no means do own or rock, but the sufferers benefit as a sort of yeah, we need to treat 9.5 patients to find one who benefits. and that's a pretty poor outcomes process. don't seem to expect the 2nd and yet there are cases where medical cannabis works amazingly well for the could peep costs, for example. she's been suffering from multiple sclerosis for 50 years now, and recently had a mild stroke. she doesn't react well to strong painkillers. this in the cannabis drops now help her to get by in her everyday life. a dr. young stock often uses cannabis products on elderly patients because they have both physical and psychological effects and can improve their general quality of life.
