Abstract:
"Pain is an incredibly complicated pathophysiologic process, as well as a highly individualized experience," says Dr. K.A. Erdmann, a pain management specialist with American Pain Management (APM), a high technology medical consulting firm. "In fact, it is by far the most subjective, difficult, and expensive symptom to treat. The pain impulse can be generated anywhere along the peripheral nerve, up the tracts in the spinal cord, and even into the brain itself."
