    • Abstract:
      My pain has improved, mostly because of physical therapy, but my origin story - the injury and the resulting MRI abnormalities - had little to do with the pain I felt years afterward. FORUM COMMENTARY ON SCIENCE IN THE NEWS FROM THE EXPERTS Every person who has ever hurt has their pain origin story; I certainly have mine. The last group received usual care plus pain-reprocessing therapy, which teaches people that the brain can construct chronic pain in the absence of an active injury and that simply reframing the threat pain represents might reduce or eliminate it.
