The brain is often compared to a jello mold because it has a soft, gelatinous texture that is delicate and easily damaged. This is due to its viscoelastic properties, meaning it behaves as both a liquid and a solid

"Stop trying to 'fix' yourself; you're NOT broken! You are perfectly imperfect!"

"Perfectly imperfect", celebrates your flaws as part of your unique identity, rather than striving for an unattainable standard of perfection. Key themes include self-acceptance, the beauty of imperfections, and the human condition of being flawed but real.

Be aware of the things that you eat!

If you fail this month, congratulations!

Failure isn’t proof you’re doing something wrong - it’s proof you’re trying.

Every “mistake” teaches you more than playing it safe ever will.
So stop waiting for the “right time”

Stop overthinking it!

Just start!

Because the only REAL failure is never trying at all.

11/06/2025

Ankle fractures can sometimes lead to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition characterized by severe pain, swelling, and skin changes, often disproportionate to the initial injury. This study found CRPS in 15% of cases.

What is CRPS?
CRPS is a chronic pain condition that can occur after an injury, surgery, or even a minor trauma. It's characterized by intense pain, swelling, skin changes (like temperature and color), and sometimes loss of function in the affected limb.

CRPS and Ankle Fractures:
While CRPS can occur after various injuries, fractures, including ankle fractures, are a common trigger.
Symptoms of CRPS:
Severe Pain: The pain is often described as burning, throbbing, or shooting, and can be much greater than expected from the initial injury.
Swelling: The affected limb may become swollen, even after the initial injury has healed.
Skin Changes: The skin may appear shiny, discolored (red, blue, or purple), and cold or hot to the touch.
Sensitivity: The skin may become extremely sensitive to touch, even light touch, or temperature changes.
Loss of Function: Movement and use of the affected limb can be impaired, and some people may experience muscle weakness or spasms.

Head-turned rear impact causing dynamic cervical intervertebral foramen narrowing: implications for ganglion and nerve root injury

(message me if you want the studies)

"Axial head rotation prior to low speed automotive rear impacts has been clinically identified to increase morbidity and symptom duration. "

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of axial head rotation on facet joint capsule strains during simulated rear impacts. The study was conducted using a validated intact head to first thoracic vertebra (T1) computational model. Parametric analysis was used to assess effects of increasing axial head rotation between 0 and 60° and increasing impact severity between 8 and 24 km/h on facet joint capsule strains. Rear impacts were simulated by horizontally accelerating the T1 vertebra. Characteristics of the acceleration pulse were based on the horizontal T1 acceleration pulse from a series of simulated rear impact experiments using full-body post mortem human subjects. Joint capsule strain magnitudes were greatest in ipsilateral facet joints for all simulations incorporating axial head rotation (i.e., head rotation to the left caused higher ligament strain at the left facet joint capsule).

Strain magnitudes increased by 47-196% in simulations with 60° head rotation compared to forward facing simulations. These findings indicate that axial head rotation prior to rear impact increases the risk of facet joint injury.

Movement is Medicine⁠!!!
⁠
One of the most powerful tools we have for prevention, healing, and vitality is something simple — daily movement.⁠
⁠
Whether it’s yoga, strength training, walking, or mindful breathing, every intentional practice supports the body in ways we often overlook:⁠
⁠
✨ Calming the nervous system⁠
✨ Strengthening bones and muscles⁠
✨ Supporting cardiovascular health⁠
✨ Boosting mood and energy⁠
✨ Building resilience — mind, body, and spirit⁠
⁠
It’s not about perfection or long hours in the gym. It’s about showing up for yourself, consistently, in ways that feel grounding and sustainable. 🌿

A good diagnosis is the first step to a great treatment!

Over 100 million of Americans and 1.5 billion people worldwide suffer some form of pain over the last 3 months and 23 million Americans suffer from chronic or prolonged pain daily. Many chronic pain sufferers have no definitive diagnosis to explain their pain. The health care cost for pain in the US is over $600 billion dollars. In the context of this book our failure to manage pain is also evident in trauma and injury cases.

There is a growing disconnect in the science of pain and our clinical management of pain. The American Academy of Pain Medicine has proposed categorizing pain on a neurobiologic basis as eudynia (acute or tissue damage pain), Greek for "good pain," or maldynia (chronic or destructive pain), Greek for "bad pain.” Genetics, biopsychosocial and other factors are now known to play a major role in the path from eudynia to maldynia. The mechanism of acute pain is not the same as the mechanism of chronic pain.

The nociceptive (pain) system is not just a system for the conduction of pain impulses from the periphery to the brain. We now know that plastic changes can take place in the periphery, the spinal cord and also in higher brain centers following injury or inflammation. These changes may increase the magnitude of the perceived pain and may contribute to the development of chronic pain syndromes. Swiss Med Wkly 2002;132:273– 278

There is good evidence that chronic pain is associated with changes in brain function. It is possible that these brain changes compound chronic pain and future agents may be able to prevent such complications. German J Psychiatry 2003; 6: 8-15.

Pain is a distinctive experience, with a wide range of influential factors in its progression. Predispositions for injury and illness, social influences, economic difficulties, psychological factors, and physiology all play important roles in the development and management of chronic pain. In addition to pain, patients often experience functional deficits including physical difficulties, psychological and emotional distress, poor coping skills, and kinesiophobia (fear of movement). The biopsychosocial model evaluates the integrated “whole person,” with both the mind and the body together as interconnected entities, recognizing biological, psychological, and social components of pain and illness. Genetic predispositions, variables such as stress can alter their phenotypic behavioral expression, and have lasting effects both behaviorally and psychosocially. The Biopsychosocial Model of the Assessment, Prevention, and Treatment of Chronic Pain, US Neurology, 2016; 12(2):98–104.

Your pain warning system is not just a system for the conduction of pain impulses from the periphery to the brain. Scientists now know that changes can take place in the receptors, nerves, the spinal cord and in the higher brain centers following injury, inflammation, continued use of the pain system, disuse of inhibiting factors and learned behaviors. These changes can increase the likelihood that pain is perceived and may contribute to the development of "chronic pain". Neuroplastic changes in structure and function are not only a consequence of chronic pain but are involved in the maintenance of pain symptoms. Therefore, "chronic pain" can in some cases be considered a separate disease, independent of the pathology that initially set off the pain warning system.

Pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage". The following points are important to understand about pain:

1. Pain may or may not involve tissue damage.

2. Our nervous system is plastic (constantly changing).

3. There is not always a relationship between tissue damage and pain perception.

4. Pain can now be classified by physiology; tissue damage pain (acute / eudynia ) and neuroplastic or destructive pain (chronic / maldynia ).

5. Genetics and biopsychosocial also play a role in all types of pain.

6. Mechanisms underlying chronic pain differ from those underlying acute pain.
