Please watch the documentary "Pain Warriors" to see what is happening to people with Chronic Pain and the other side of the "Opioid Epidemic".
"Pain Warriors" is NOT a warm and fuzzy movie to watch. It is five stories, two being suicides one of which was my late wife.
It is also a good example of how today's Medical Establishment fails people. In Karen's case each doctor did what they thought was in her best interests, and I have no issue with any of them. Yet the system as a whole killed her.
"Pain Warriors" can be watched for free on Amazon Prime, and TubiTV. It is also on iTunes, Google Play and Veimo for international viewers. We are in the process of applying to get it on Netflix.
I receive no remuneration from the documentary. I'm simply trying to raise awareness of obscure conditions like Intracranial Hypotension due to Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leaks. As well as raise awareness of how broken the Medical Establishment can be if you have an obscure condition.
- thehappypm 5y agoI will watch it. I went through about a 2 year stint when, due to a series of injuries, I was in pain just about constantly. I broke my tailbone, had a stress fracture in my ankle, and suffered a lower back injury at the same time. No posture was painless for me -- lying down was OK, but sitting hurt my tailbone, standing hurt my back, walking hurt my ankles, biking hurt my tailbone. It was a very difficult thing to deal with. I'm better now (still have the back pain) but I understand what it's like to wake up every morning and just be in pain.
