It is claimed that there are some 50,000 new chronic pain pts every year – that is about 140/day… that is about SIX EVERY HOUR – 24/7/365!
How many of your family, friends, or neighbors will become a chronic pain pt in the next day? Could you become a chronic pain pt in the next 24 hrs? All it takes is one serious accident that may or may not be your fault. What is even worse is that most of those 50,000 people will discover that our healthcare system doesn’t want to be the intensity of the pt’s pain nor will be willing to treat their pain for more than MAYBE just a few days.
Today, many chronic pain pts have been basically put under HOUSE ARREST because they receive inadequate pain management that most of their days, they spend laying in bed or a couch and/or sitting in a chair.
