Pain does not always end when tissue heals, a reality increasingly recognized in modern pain science and reflected in the work of Basem Hamid MD of Houston, TX. Often, the nervous system continues generating discomfort long after the original injury has resolved, as pain becomes a learned neurological process that the brain can encode, reinforce, and… Continue reading When Pain Becomes a Memory: How the Brain Learns to Hurt
