    I have a couple questions. Is chronic pain only possible as the result of a previous injury or disease? For example, someone with a lot of dims won't necessarily cause pain if there is no tissue damage to send danger signals to the brain.? I have had a whiplash injury that I notice pain worsens when my dims are over riding my sims. How do I know if I should live essentially managing my pain by managing my dims and sims and when surgery is better to try and rectify what may be causing the danger signals (eg. Nerve compression). One last question, I suffer from ptsd and anxiety which worsens my pain, especially when I'm not on medication. I notice when I take gaba supplement that is supposed to increase serotonin my pain decreases. Are people with low serotonin more susceptible to pain and what's the connection? Thank you
