Biochemical Origin of Pain

short and to the point

Hi Sandel,
 

I wanted to think you for putting up all of these good website. I am one of many that aren't able to sit and do a lot of research.

When I read the title I thought it was about fatigue. I deal with CFS so bad it alone keeps me aggrevated.

What they are talking about in that website is inflamation causing the pain. It makes a lot of sense but still after all of the inflamation is taken care of people still have pain from RSD and Fibro so I don't think they are all the way right on that one. Also if that were the case then all of us would be well after the inflamation is gone. I think I am understanding it right.

Thanks again for the great info.

Hi Ada..
I think the inflamitory process causes the small nerve fiber damage as well as other problems..
I don't quite have the whole picture.. but I thin k the inflamitory process is a key iniciating ingredient to the diffrent pain conditions.. to me it makes the most sence and I have read ALOT of articles lately.. keeps me distracted.

thanks for the coments I like it when an artical challenges people as it does me.. they are there for consideration not as a statement of fact.. but I still know that we are closer to figuring RSD out than many because it is our lives that are effected.. I know that my pain decreases alot with my swelling, but I am still left with zing zaps and cramps and deep aches.. I burn after activity too... this is such a complex syndrome but it can have one iniciating event.. inflamation.. and if you've ever read up on that you will know that it too is a very complex process if gone awry and can cause most of the symptoms we get.. as a boomerang effect and for us it's like there is now a channel open for the process to repeat and the nerves get damaged if they are not already.
