why cant we just remove the pain receptors from a person with chronic pain?
In: Biology
I have a version of this with the condition I have, Brown Sequard Syndrome, where my right side is weak (full feeling/pain but little strength) and my left side is the opposite (full motion/strength but little feeling/pain). Weirdest thing that has ever happened to me and literally a 1 per million people occurrence.
Can vouch that having pain receptors is a good thing, as in my fun time I work on Unlimited Hydroplanes (onboard cameras) and have severely burned my left leg multiple times on the turbine exhaust because I couldn’t feel it burning. Smelled it though. Cuts are the same, where it has to be pretty major to feel it. Would definitely vote to have pain, even if it had to be managed with drugs, just to know when you’ve harmed yourself enough to cause major damage.
