I think that's very fair and correct. Untreated pain can also easily lead to addiction issues that may have actually been prevented from properly managing it in the first place. Whether that's because...

It's not about saying: "I'm broken but you fix it." It's merely about taking an approach that isn't riddled with negatives preconceptions, working with the patient to identify a treatment plan that is...
