The Disability Diaries With Steven Vine
Dr. Alyssa Hodgson: She confronts her own pain with: ‘Is that all you got?' Now she helps others in pain
Steve and Chris talk to Dr. Alyssa Hodgson, a pain specialist doctor at CPRI (Canadian Pain & Regenerative Institute); a multidisciplinary clinic in Vancouver and New Westminster. Steve has a personal connection with Dr. Hodgson, as she has been treating Steve for his chronic pain for over a year now, as he continues to see her and other doctors in the pain clinic. Pain management can be very complicated and different for each person – but Dr. Hodgson suggests that if you have chronic pain, you start with PainBC.ca Even though this is a very serious topic, as pain can be a debilitating disability – we managed to share some laughs in this episode.
