I'd expect a comment like this on Facebook, not here.

Yours is a "Natural human" take that assumes every piece of medical tech was made in bad faith. How sad and cynical and absolutely untrue.

>Pain is information.

It can be NULL information, too. or WRONG information. Dude was having cluster headaches for 8 hours a day. Do you have a cure for cluster headaches? Are you able to interpret this "Information"? How arrogant!

If they had a cure or a magic wand it would have been done by now.




Yes pain can indeed be an incorrect signal. Phantom limb pain is one example that comes to mind.


I've had phantom pain. I no longer do.

It's still telling you something is wrong, though perhaps a different something.


Sounds interesting. Do you mind sharing how was that cured?


You’ve had a limb removed and recovered from phantom pains? How interesting!

Did you do mirror therapy or anything like that?
