The Personal Side of Pain

What does chronic pain feel like? When did it begin? How does it affect the overall quality of life? We open the season with a story from Patrick Gaines, a Colorado native with chronic regional pain syndrome. By asking him these questions, we dive deeper into the personal side of pain and unpack its influence on a person's life. The Pain Podcast is sponsored by Tremeau Pharmaceuticals
