A silent and invisible struggle, chronic pain is by nature unstable, creating an exhausting and uncertain reality for those living with it. The invisibility, unclear trajectory, and inability to measure pain, leaves individuals in an isolating, and often violating search for diagnosis and treatments within a fragmented healthcare system characterized by complex bureaucracy, disconnected services, and overworked staff. The invisibility of the pain experience often results in suspicion and judgement, leading to further vulnerability and isolation, and unaddressed can result in depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, with medicine’s hyper-focus on the body, mental health is often ignored.
