Why did a NEW spot start hurting when I'm already in treatment?

This is one of the most common — and most unsettling — questions Dr. Thunder hears from chronic pain patients. And the answer might surprise you.

Your nervous system can only transmit so much at once. Severe, persistent pain dominates the channel and crowds out the quieter signals from other parts of your body. As your primary pain starts to improve and take up less neurological "bandwidth," those previously-masked aches finally get through.

So that new hip ache or stiff shoulder? It may have been there all along. Your nervous system just didn't have room to surface it until now.

New pain isn't always failure. Sometimes it's the first sign your treatment is actually working.

Watch Dr. Thunder's full explanation and share with someone who needs to hear this today.

Jasper is almost 14. He can’t run up hills anymore. Goji is 5. He does it every day. And Jasper doesn’t compare himself to Goji. This is Dr. Thunder’s reminder for every chronic pain patient who’s been hard on themselves for not being who they used to be: none of us can do at 50 what we did at 30. And that’s okay. Show up. Do what you can. Be proud of it. Save this if you needed it today, or pass it on to someone who could use some pawsitivity.🐾♥️

"You look fine." But inside, you're barely holding it together.

Dr. T is talking about something that doesn't get discussed enough — the profound loneliness of living with chronic pain. Pushing through every day, looking "normal" to the outside world, while fighting just to do the basics. And then being dismissed by doctors, misunderstood by family, doubted by friends.

You are not faking. You are not exaggerating. And you deserve real care.

To every woman who is everyone else's person: Happy International Women's Day💛

You're the one who remembers the appointments, tracks the medications, notices when someone is off, and holds everything together, often while dealing with your own pain or exhaustion that you've quietly learned to work around.

That's the mental load. And it has real consequences for your health.

Dr. Thunder at Thunder Pain and Wellness sees this pattern constantly: women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, managing serious chronic pain or depression, who are still the primary caretakers in their families. The connection between sustained stress, disrupted sleep, and worsening physical and mental health is well established. What's less talked about is how rarely women are given permission to actually put themselves first.

This Women's Day, we want to say clearly: you are not meant to just push through. Effective help exists -- and you deserve it.

If you or a woman you love has been struggling with chronic pain or depression, we'd love to talk.

"Am I going to be able to work? Provide for my family? What does this mean for my future?"

If you've ever had these thoughts because of chronic pain — you're not alone, and there's a reason a simple pain reliever isn't cutting it.

Chronic pain isn't just a physical sensation. It activates emotional centers in your brain, fuels anxiety, disrupts sleep, and affects every aspect of your life. It's a whole-body experience that requires whole-body treatment.

At Thunder Pain and Wellness, we treat the full picture — not just the symptom.

Meet Jasper 🐾 He's almost 14, arthritic, and still goes for his daily walk -- because Dr. T knows movement is medicine.
It sounds counterintuitive, but gentle, consistent movement is one of the best things you can do for chronic pain and osteoarthritis. Jasper is living (and walking) proof. 🐕

If you're in the Reno area and struggling with chronic pain, we'd love to help you find your way back to feeling better, one step at a time.
