Why pain:• Complex medical problem• Complex interplay between peripheral & central NS• Complex interplay between nociceptive, neuropathic and
psychological/existential• Dealing with a variety of distinct pain entities-acute, chronic,
progressive/palliative• Treatment modalities are multiple and come with risk/benefits that vary
depending on what you are treating
