1. PAIN IDENTIFIES OUR LIMITS
Pain is a way our body tells us we’ve reached a boundary. For example, if we stretch our finger until it exceeds the joint limits of function, for which it was designed, we will experience pain. This is an indication for us not to proceed further. What happens if we numb the area and keep bending the finger?

Understandably, we want pain to disappear. A simple and convenient way is to ingest a drug that covers-up or fools the body. In emergency or acute situations this offers temporary or necessary relief. However, a strategy of long term use, as you might expect, can make the underlying problem worsen, making it more difficult and expensive to correct.
