In Episode 6 of Pain. Full. Truth., I take you inside the build-up to one of the biggest decisions of my life — whether to go ahead with DRG stimulation for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

I share what the trial process looks like, the pressure of chasing a 50% pain reduction target, and the emotional rollercoaster of waiting for hospital appointments that could change everything — or nothing at all.

This episode also explores the toll that “maybes” take on mental health, the conversations I’ve had with my family about risks and hopes, and what it means to live in limbo when pain is guaranteed but the future is not.

If you’ve ever lived with uncertainty, balanced hope with fear, or tried to plan a future while stuck in the waiting room of life, this episode will resonate with you.
