    Icon4 Elliot Krane, TED 2011 Conference: The mystery of chronic pain

    This video is a must watch for anyone suffering with chronic pain or know anyone that is.

    "We think of pain as a symptom, but there are cases where the nervous system develops feedback loops and pain becomes a terrifying disease in itself. Starting with the story of a girl whose sprained wrist turned into a nightmare, Elliot Krane talks about the complex mystery of chronic pain, and reviews the facts we're just learning about how it works and how to treat it."
