Ep. 52 - Managing chronic pain | David Hall

People who struggle with chronic pain have a much higher risk of dying by suicide than the general population, and my guest, David Hall, knows about this personally. In 2007, he was run over by a driver who was talking on the phone. Since then, he has had dozens of surgeries, including spinal cord fusion and stimulator implants to manage the pain.

Because of one of the operations, he developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, CRPS, a rare disease, also known as “the suicide illness.” Having learned how to manage his own pain, David now coaches people who experience the same predicament; he has a podcast called “Striving to Thriving,” and he is now finishing a book with the same title.

In this interview, he gives us important tips on how to trick your brain so that it doesn’t focus so much on the pain, he explains why opioids don’t work for this kind of generalized pain and teaches techniques that will make a difference in the lives of those who related to this situation.
