I encounter two major problems on a daily basis:
1) Patients having been told that their pain won't (can't) change and they should "manage" it instead.
2) Clinicians/patients expecting quick changes in symptoms.
My philosophy is that pain can & does change but it takes time.

@UPMCSportsMed @concussionnorth If a player continues playing for just 15 minutes after the initial injury, the average recovery time doubles from 19-21 days to 40”. This statistic is a great message to share with athletes who STILL think it’s OK to play through a concussion.

Accessibility isn't just physical; it's an attitude. I've been in #accessible buildings where the staff have treated me like I'm stupid and an inconvenience. I've also been in buildings with make-shift access where I've been treated as a human being, and I keep going back. ♿️

Getting bright light in the morning could be just as important for improving sleep as avoiding blue light exposure at night.
After exposure to daytime bright light, evening use of a tablet for two hours did not affect sleep in healthy young students.

Most of variance assoc w persistent #postconcussive cognitive symptoms comes from other symptom types (somatic, sleep, affective). #ViciousCycle @drpolster #AANAM @AANMember @UCLA @TheSteveTisch #BrainSPORT @SportsNeuroSoc @APA @TheAACN #concussion #mTBI

Maybe we move away from nebulous #PCS #postconcussionsyndrome & start focusing on persistent postconcussion symptoms #PPCS most of which can be treated! #DrJoshKamins @UCLAHealth @SportsNeuroSoc @AANMember @ACRMtweets @AAPMR @CNS_Connect

Watching very intelligent people in my profession continuing to argue how to treat different pathology differently without even considering what the pts issues/disabilities are makes me sad, angry and very very tired! 😕😣😢 #WhenWillWeLearn
