Hey Natalie, I also have chronic shoulder pain from swimming! It's funny to me how people tend to think swimming is the safest sport because it is supposed to be no contact and yet I have never met a swimmer who has not experienced chronic shoulder pain at some point in their career. I actually came across that same article about healthy and unhealthy ways to cope with pain and was also surprised to see overeating as an unhealthy coping mechanism. I personally don't see how overeating could influence pain because I didn't really see how eating affects nociception, but after reading the article it does make a little bit more sense. I like what you said about we tend to think the pain is worse than it actually is, that is confirmed by the builder in the video who was in severe pain even though the nail never touched his foot.
