The Chronic Pain Marriage-Go-Round

Anger, anxiety, pain circuits are linked. When a patient is upset with a family member, the pain consistently increases. This may happen more frequently in families when a member is suffering from chronic pain. A study showed that when a person in pain complains to a partner or spouse, there is usually a hostile response, and the pain predictably increases. This happened in all 105 couples in this particular study. It is the reason why one of our core recommendations is to never discuss your pain or medical care with ANYONE, especially your family. “The Chronic Pain Marriage-Go-Round” - https://backincontrol.com/the-chronic...
