What happens when “fix me” fails—and you still hurt every day?
Keith Meldrum shares how validation and willingness replaced a decades-long fight with pain to rebuild a meaningful life.

What you’ll learn
 • Why pain is always biological—but rarely only biomedical
 • How stigma, dismissal, and “it’s in your head” worsen outcomes
 • The pivotal power of “We believe you” in the clinic
 • Practical reframes: from fighting pain to willingness and pacing
 • Stress–pain loops: noticing, de-escalating, and regaining control
 • Navigating procedures (nerve blocks, neuromodulation consults) without chasing magic bullets
 • Protecting relationships and energy when pain is constant

Keith’s story equips clinicians to lead with compassion and equips patients with actionable mindsets to reduce suffering and reclaim function. If this helped, subscribe and share with a colleague who treats complex pain.
