"The consequences of persistent intractable pain can be cruel. The depth of suffering is Immeasurable and is unique to the person experiencing the pain. It can be a lonely struggle and a place where even loved ones cannot travel. When significant others or healthcare providers cannot adequately alleviate the suffering or its source, they may become deafened or oblivious to the pain sufferer's "silent scream" for help.
"As the pain persists, the sufferer descends into the vortex of more pain and misery. They struggle to maintain some semblance of who they used to be, for fear they will be less lovable and less loved.
