Chronic pain is a common condition affecting at least 50 million US adults, with proportionate burden in children. Pain costs in excess of $700 billion per year, and despite this enormous expense continues to challenge population health. Pain remains very poorly understood by clinicians, patients, and health systems. When doctors, nurses, health systems, patients and their advocates better understand what pain “is” and how it’s assessed we can improve and treatment and outcomes.

Language is the method of human communication. The language of pain is the communication between our clients and our providers. We as providers are sometimes missing the key words used, the metaphors that are telling a story, the body language that is sharing their emotions. We will explore through storytelling and humor how the language of pain once heard can be reconceptualized with compassion and humanity.
