Getting “old”

Weekly nuggets of pain science news and insight, usually 100-300 words, with the occasional longer post. 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.

Overhead conversation between an adult and a small child...
CHILD: I always have a sore knee.
ADULT: Always?
CHILD: Yeah, always! It just hurts lots.
ADULT: I guess you’re getting old.
CHILD: I am almost five now.
Probably not a solid diagnosis there. But cute. And a little poignant.
