How Fear Can Make Chronic Pain Worse | Dr. Sean Pastuch

EP. 287: Join my new community for Gen X women: https://www.skool.com/drtyna
What if the key to living with less pain isn’t waiting until you feel better, but learning how to live more right now?
In this episodeI sit down with Dr. Sean Pastuch, author of Live More, Hurt Less, to talk about the relationship between chronic pain, fear, movement, and the stories we tell ourselves about our bodies. We explore why pain can become tied to our sense of what’s safe, how avoiding movement can leave us feeling even more limited, and why a diagnosis doesn’t have to define your future.
Topics Discussed:
→ Can chronic pain get better without surgery?
→ How does movement help reduce chronic pain?
→ When is surgery necessary for back pain?
→ How does fear make pain feel worse?
→ Can low estrogen affect muscle recovery and joint pain?
