Visual Artists Tackle What Pain Looks Like

Artists are making intractable pain visible.
By PPM Editorial Board

As the opioid crisis has weighed on the shoulders of both those living with chronic pain and those clinicians trying to help them manage that pain, misrepresentation of what chronic pain truly involves has increased. Visual artists are trying to change that, from the BioDelivery Sciences International "This is Pain" campaign to Justin J Wee's "How I Hurt" series. 

See all the images and read interviews with BDSI and Justin J Wee as well as the story behind a new documentary on the faces of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, EDS.
