My neurogenic pain was caused by a broken wrist. Now it's everywhere.

Yikes! That's terrible. I am thankful that I only hurt when I exert myself for long periods or too aggressively. Hitting the pavement does it too but I've been fortunate not to do anything like that recently.

I find the concept that the brain could cause pain to exist where there is no "real" (like sliced/torn nerve endings) fascinating and terrifying at the same time. I didn't even realize that was a thing that could happen 'til I read this article.
