Our host, Britney Dea, speaks with Dr David D. Clarke who says doctors often have no idea what is causing a patient's chronic pain. If no physical damage can be found, then the brain may be sending out pain signals as a response to stress and trauma, known as "Neuroplastic symptoms". Britney and Doctor Clarke explore this new area of science. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/hopeful-radio-6307812/episodes/crushing-chronic-pain/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/hopeful-radio-6307812/crushing-chronic-pain.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
