Many people have experienced chronic pain that could not be alleviated by pain-killers. Hopefully I will never have to suffer the pain that I have watched others endure.

 

and you launch into an attack?

 

Leon, I for one found that article very interesting for various reasons. I could go on, but I don't want anyone arguing at me....

 

Take care

Sorry Leon, I did'nt go through the article entirly, I just got so far and then blew up.

John, it was not an attack on Leon, you should know me by now but reading my comments over again I can see how you came to that conclusion. :o

 

Dave, hang in there mate :cool:

Even if you were subjected to the most intense pain imaginable, then five minutes later you had no memory of the experience whatsoever; as long as it left no permanent effects...would it matter?

Raging debate amongst some psychologists and other interested parties about that question.

 

Scopolamine and other amnestic agents are supposed to make you not remember you had pain. Usually given along with another agent to prevent movement unless the doc needs the patient awake and able to move.

 

But do the muscles "remember"? Does every general anesthetic simply leave you unable to move and unable to remember later but fully aware of the pain at the time? How do you find out?
