Hi, I am Judy, a family doctor for over 30 years. I am passionate about CP. In 2016, British Columbia, Canada, declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency, but opioids and chronic pain are the final pathway of undertreated acute pain, both physical and mental.

This website provides tools, but the more I learn, the more I realize how impossible it is for one person to fully understand of chronic pain. The research continues and I continue to learn from my patients and pain expert. The link Types of Pain can be used for acute and chronic pain, and the Steps in the sidebar on the right (if you have an iPad or laptop) are most helpful for those in chronic pain.

Pause the videos when fatigue and brain fog sets in. Concentrating on anything is hard when you are in pain. If you are able, please comment to help me understand your pain experience or experience of the website. No comments are visible on the website.
