One final lumpy update
A weekly nugget or two of pain science news and ideas for patients and pros, usually 400–1000 words. The blog is the “director’s commentary” on the core content of PainScience.com: a library of major articles and books about common painful problems and popular treatments. See the blog archives or updates for the whole site.
Once upon a time, in Hell, I wrote a personal article about “globus,” a bizarre kind of chronic pain, a maddening sensation of a lump in the throat. That article earned a freakishly large audience, sustained since publication in late 2014. It was the first of my own tales of serious chronic pain, the beginning of a larger, ongoing story. But my globus struggle did have a happy ending, and so I just gave “A Lump in My Throat” one last good news update about my battle with that condition.
