Today we break into part 1 of a 2 part focus on the current on-goings of the activities of the chronic pain movement.
We break into the little cancellation story of CreakyJoints & Dr. Anna Lembke
The world of chronic pain advocacy is an essential, yet admittedly, micro-sized universe. Roughly, there are at least 30 million Americans currently reliant on daily opioid pain medication for severe chronic pain, with perhaps as many as ¼ of Americans- the number of Americans with arthritis- necessitating pain meds now or in the future. However, despite the titanic-level mass of humans that belong to Team Chronic Pain, the attention stamp belonging to patients and their concerns in the news media and online is surprisingly thin. Therefore I find it perplexing when dedicated CPs try to shrink that lean attention bridge with well-meaning but detrimental efforts to control the conversation via somewhat toxic means. Using tactics that at the national level most would recognize as cancel-culture and bullying. Ultimately doing much more harm than good.
