Pain DOES NOT BEGIN WITH THE STIMULATION OF RECEPTORS
AND IS NOT THE END PRODUCT OF A LINEAR SENSORY SYSTEM!

Oh,
just my mind.
Painful Paradoxes, Dilemmas & Premises For The Understanding of Pain
Can I ask you a question?
It depends.
Knowledge is
case specific.
Can I ask you a question?
It depends.
Knowledge is
case specific.
Why does my back hurt?

PARADOXES
An unacceptable conclusion
Derived by apperently acceptable reasoning
from apperantly acceptable premises
KNOWLEDGE
PARADOXES
Specific cause = specific solution?
The problem is not that nothing works,
The problem is that anything can work
KNOWLEDGE
PARADOXES
The more i learn, the more i fix?
Can everything be fixed?
KNOWLEDGE
PARADOXES
It doesn’t Even have to be true,
But it can still potentially
be of great value
WHY?
How?!
PARADOXES leads to dilemmas
A case for simplicity, but
which simplicity should we listen to?
Simple solutions are everywhere!
Where facts are few, experts are many
The pLot
Is it possible to find sense in chaos?
Depends on certain premises
The pLot
Firstly:
YOU ARE NOT THE CENTER
Of THE UNIVERSE
Painful Paradoxes, Dilemmas & Premises For The Understanding of Pain
The pLot
Secondly:
you have to be willing
to live with uncertainty
Accept informed probabilities,
Not definite certainties
Conceptual
hygiene
As little contradiction as possible
”Knowledge is case specific”
”True” knowledge is true
In all landscapes of ”reality”
We need certain models of reasoning
Models are tools for thinking
E.G. THE SAB & BPS model
What is a
Model?
”	
George E. P. Box
What is a GOOD
Model?
”	
George E. P. Box
Explains existing phenomeNon and
provides reliable predictability

all models are wrong
but some are useful

What is pain?
Fundamental consequences
Are we machines or ecosystems?
True or false?
Our fMRI study concludes that
participants performing memory tasks
showed activity in the parts of the brain
associated with high sounds,
claustrophobia, colors and farting

Bricks are relevant

Guilt and shame

tendencies
The brain paradigm
Is the brain becoming the new spine?
”you have pain because something is
messed up in your spine”
”You have pain because something is
messed up in your brain”
Limitations of language
Do we ALL describe
love, hate, fear & Joy
The same way?
The SAB-model is useful,
but TOO simplistic
so what next?
Limitations of language
New definition of pain?
Pain is
an unpleasant sensory and
emotional experience
associated with actual or
potential tissue damage, or
described in terms of such
damage
Pain is
damage
Painful Paradoxes, Dilemmas & Premises For The Understanding of Pain
Limitations of language
New definition of pain?
Pain is a distressing experience
associated with actual or potential
tissue damage with sensory, emotional,
cognitive and social components
Williams	–	2016	–	Upda0ng	the	defini0on	of	pain
Limitations of language
…all DEFINITIONS and models of
understanding are wrong, but...
Different models of understanding
are useful for different purposes
(and different realities)
Limitations of language
Humanistic (clinical) definition
Pain is whatever the person says it is
Limitations of language
Humanistic (clinical) definition
Pain is whatever the person says it is
pain is whatever
the experiencing person says it is,
existing whenever and wherever
the person say it does

Problematic that A person could point at a rock and say ”That is pain”?

musculoskeletal inputs
What Goes on here?
Humans are ecosystems
“Brains are necessary,
But not sufficient
For the perception of pain”
”the structure of the neuromatrix is
predominantly determined by genetic factors,
although its eventual synaptic architecture is
influenced by sensory inputs.”
Activity in the water stream
is like synaptic activity
The swirls in the river
Is like “blobs” in the brain
A brain without synaptic activity
Is like a river without water
Painful Paradoxes, Dilemmas & Premises For The Understanding of Pain
What pain is not
Pain is not a structural injury
Pain is not brain activity
Pain is not a chemical
So what?
Why does it matter?
If you really understand pain:
Then you’ll always believe people in pain
Then you’ll understand when pain becomes suffering
Then you’ll understand why communication matters
Then you’ll understand why so many treatments fail
Then your management will change
Evidence-based
physiotherapy:
A crisis in movement
Touch people who need touching,
this is therapy. Don’t touch people
who don’t need touching,
this is battery.
Talk with people who need talking
with, this is therapy.
Judge when this becomes
meaningless.
Educate your patient by all means,
but also let them educate you.
The Notorious R. Kerry
Was that it?
I guess
