We know that there are some negative changes in the brain, due to chronic/persistent pain. But thanks to neuroplasticity, we can restore normal function once we treat the pain.
Do you or does someone you know suffer from persistent pain?

The National is CBC Television’s flagship news program. Airing six days a week, the show delivers news, feature documentaries and analysis from some of Canada’s leading journalists.
In 2012 Courtney Cassady’s last hope was the Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Program at Mayo Clinic.
I had a doctor come in and tell me I’d never walk again and that I’d need amputation of my leg.
That was the hardest thing that I heard through this journey.
Nearly two-years earlier Courtney broke her left ankle while practicing with her varsity basketball team.
The pain would not go away.
It kind of started with just my foot, but then it went a little. It was just mostly below my knee, you just couldn’t touch my leg, it was so painful if I bumped up against something, I would cry.
Courtney was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition.
I tried physical therapy, occupational therapy, a chiropractor, even acupuncture.
We tried everything I was on different medications and nothing seemed to be working at all.
A doctor told Courtney she might never walk again and may need to amputate her leg.
Mayo was the best place, it was the last place, it was kind of scary also to know that I had gotten to that point, that there really wasn’t another option after Mayo.
Courtney was able to walk again after 4 ½ weeks and completing around a hundred hours of physical therapy at Mayo Clinic.
(Courtney walking down a hallway) Who is this? Who is this? It doesn’t look like the same girl anymore. It’s Courtney, yea! I can walk, yea!
Amen.
It was so, so difficult so, so difficult and I wouldn’t want to re-live it but I was one of the most rewarding things because I was able to beat the odds, the doctors who told me I couldn’t and everything and I got to show them wrong, with the support of all the staff from Mayo behind me.
(Courtney shoots a basketball) What you doing Court’?
It’s so cool because the lord has used it in ways that I cannot have even imagined. All from a simple fracture, from a basketball game.
It’s so cool because I had an end goal when I was going to through the Pain Rehabilitation Program and there’s this mission trip to New York City.
I got to meet that goal and I got to go and there’s a verse in the bible Romans 10:15 and it says how are they to preach unless they are sent. How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news. And its so cool because the Lord has been able to use my feet literally and figuratively.
Courtney credits a regular exercise regimen for helping her maintain the momentum she gained at Mayo Clinic.
I am 110% back to normal, I get to go work out, I walk to class, I’m a student at the University of Oklahoma, and I walk to class, all fine and no pain. I hang out with friends. I dance, I run around like a four miles or so. I am working up to a half marathon.
Courtney advises other young people to put their whole heart into completing the program. She is forever grateful to the people who helped her.
I love you guys, thank you for all those hard times and thank you for not giving up. Maybe if one of the people that helped me gave up on me I wouldn’t be where I am today and because of that I would like to say thank you. Thank you for all that you’ve done and all that you do for all the other patients. You’re changing lives and you don’t even know it Video Rating: / 5

I’m a doctor of physical therapy and chronic pain specialist. I help people who are fed up and frustrated with chronic pain retrain their nervous system so they can beat chronic pain and get their life back.
In other words, if you have chronic pain and are looking for a new and improved way to manage your pain with an approach based on neuroscience, I’m your girl.
I got out of the clinic and started my online chronic pain coaching business so I could provide that nervous system retraining piece that is missing from pain management in the health care system.
Empowering people with chronic pain is my calling. I wasn’t okay knowing that my patient’s with chronic pain had no one to turn to, no one who would help, and no one who would believe them.
I decided I would be that person, even if in the beginning I didn’t know everything I needed to know to help them. I pushed myself to learn and I discovered that we were trying to treat the “tissue issue” when people with chronic pain have a nervous system “pain problem”.
Changes in the nervous system were contributing to pain and yet no one was addressing those changes.
By adding this element of neuroscience and nervous system retraining to my treatment approach, clients and patients are getting better than ever.

Hiya!
I’m Ellie and this channel follows me on my journey through life, navigating chronic illness and disability in a world that wasn’t designed for us. I am having some health struggles and this video shows a little bit of what a rough day looks like for me. I have had and will have worse days in the future but this is probably the only video where I will focus on that. I am having to use my wheelchair full time and we don’t yet know the cause of the problem with my leg.

Headache usually occurs as result of either increased pressure on the eye, dryness of the eye, allergies in the eye, infections in the eye. One of the most important things will also be cluster headache which we have on the base of the neck and this is more stress induced, physical , social, mechanical, any stress, can hit you like that. Now why will you feel the pressure on the eye? It is because of the nerve supply. Our cornea is one of the most important areas that is flooded with nerves and the reason is when you want to protect your eye or close our eye when something is coming into the eye and that is take something what happens when there is allergies or infection anything, or trauma, anything is going to increase all that and thereby the nerves of the eye gets excited very fast and this results in headache, the most important cause for headache is dryness of eyes and this headache will go upto all around the head. In the eye we have the mucus. This mucus must absorb the water how to increase the mucus? We can increase mucus by putting a silicon plug. These are lacrimal silicon plugs patented and made in the US but the tiny canals that we have which takes the water of the eye to the nose. We close this canals with a silicon plug , thereby we have 2 canals, we have 2 canals, and we close some of them and we are able to retain the mucus in the eye for some more tie. Second and third thing to do is to use a cream at night, taking a vitamin tablet, using artificial tears especially if you are doing jobs related to camera, laptops, computer, mobile. Next is to us antireflective coating glass on your nose even if you don’t have power just because it has got a antireflective coating, call it a technology glass and us e it against the computer screen, against the television, any video display terminal. Net when you come back from outside in today’s world, please wash your face, wash your eyes keeping your eyes open because there are so much of deleterious materials floating around and this reduces the foreign body, thereby allergic reactions and since the eyes are dry, we are not able to combat that allergic reaction.
Generally the causes for eye pain is dryness of the eye. But there are other causes of eye pain which are glaucoma, inflammations and certain trauma and inflammatory conditions of the nerve and the optic nerve head. most important in today’s world will be dryness because we believe 90% of our population has got dry eyes. The reasons for that is environmental but most important is our havts. We are all glued to some kind of a video display terminal, whether it is a TV, a mobile phone or computer. These things don’t let us blink. Compared to earlier days nowadays everybody block much less. If the eye is not blinking the tear film that protects the eye gets evaporated. If that gets evaporated our eye is too dry. If I have my eye that is too dry it will produce too much pain. A lacrimal silicone plug can be use d to close the water going out of the eye into the nose. This produces an increase of the mucus. Second is we need to produce ointment to apply outside the eye, and doesn’t have to go inside the eye. Third is artificial tears that is available over the countering most pharmaceutical shops. Last but not the least is we sue gene therapy where we take one drop of the patient’s blood and make has fertile DNA and give it back as injections and thereby increasing the mucus content in his eye.
