Dancing with Pain takes us into four Teens experiences dealing with pain from a facial injury, Sickle Cell Disease, Complex regional pain syndrome ad neck and shoulder trauma. A dancer embodies their process, leading us through different stages of their healing: the pain itself, confusion when their pain isn't acknowledged or diagnosed, the pivotal role of the complex pain team and treatment options, social isolation and what it takes to dig oneself out to attain some balance and acceptance. This short documentary is framed by animations of the brain's central role in the persistence of, and relief from chronic pain. Written by
