About

Dear Pain Matters blog readers,

My name is Sabina Walker.  I completed a Master in Applied Science (Neuroscience). During my Master degree, I chose to focus on the topic of nerve pain.  This is because someone close to me had complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) following crush injury to several fingers.

MY BLOG CALLED PAIN MATTERS (HERE IN WORDPRESS)

Thus far, my blog called Pain Matters has 88 blog posts.

I will continue to expand this blog as time goes on.

MY UPCOMING BOOK

I am currently finalising a book based on my blog, Pain Matters.  Watch this space for more details …

OTHER GOALS

I may also pursue a PHD involving Heart Rate Variability in Nerve Pain Patients.

After all, Pain Matters to all of us!

IN CLOSING

Please seek as much help as you can if you are suffering from chronic pain including nerve pain. There are many References included in this blog to assist.

Also, please feel free to share your own nerve pain experiences (and any recoveries) via this blog!  After all, if you suffer from nerve pain, your experience is worth a 1000 words in any textbook!

Wishing hope, inspiration and less pain in this world!

Sabina Walker, Master Applied Science (Neuroscience)
