Lisa:
Your input is immensely appreciated!
About pain: I wonder what the beneficial role of pain/chronic pain, is in cases of insidious disease like central spinal cord stenosis.
What role is pain playing in preventing further damage to the spinal cord itself by limiting activities, movements? Since the cord doesn't have the capacity to express pain is pain sensitization playing a useful role in this situation?
In my experience: if activities involving the neck are engaeged in and c-spine disease pain is masked with palliatives I experience delayed negative effects which include pain but also may include negative affect, "effects". I wonder if these are subtle manifestations of central cord disease and the micro trauma/permanent injury that neck movements may cause. I�ve had little luck in getting substantive information on this.
Is pain free movement, "consequence" free movement?
