Pain often takes over one’s story. This may lead to feelings of helplessness and a story of pain that defines who the person is. These stories often come out of labels that have been placed not only by the person suffering from chronic pain but by the healthcare system at large.
Healthcare professionals often find labeling patients with a diagnosis can help create cookie-cutter patient care plans that unfortunately do not help all patients. After all - we are people - not cookies! The label of a particular diagnosis such as fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndrome, or failed back surgery - all seek to define who the patient is. These definitions help healthcare providers and insurance payers through standardization. The thought that all patients with a particular symptom should be helped by the same modality is often widespread and not helpful.
Even patients can find labels comforting, as it allows us to make sense of symptoms that often do not make any sense at all. Patients often find a deep connection to the label of a symptom or diagnosis, defining them through a process that loses sight of who they are as a person.
Labels do not have to define our weaknesses. They can highlight our strengths and allow us to create solutions from within. Through knowledge and exploration, patients can often re-write a story of their pain and replace it with a story of strength and resilience.
