At least 34 million Americans suffer from chronic pain caused by conditions including arthritis, lower back problems, neuralgia, or migraine headaches. Some 15 million working Americans have pain on a chronic basis. Having injured my back this summer, I have come to learn a lot about pain firsthand. Pain can be hard to define. It means different things to different people and your own perception of pain can change over time. For some people, acknowledging pain is a sign of weakness. What most people don't realize is that pain is a medical problem -- and that it can be treated. How do you measure your pain? It is difficult.

Just celebrated the 20th anniversary of my 39th birthday and I have to tell you...that doesn't work. I have diabetes. But, it could be SO much worse.
