Fighting Pain With Pain In Kansas City

Or if a light massage caused excruciating full-body aches. This is the reality for thousands of young people around the world suffering from Amplified Pain Syndrome - a confounding and mysterious nerve condition that researchers say can affect up to a quarter of all teenagers to some degree.

  3. Like anything that Children's Mercy does is reliable.
    Like bombarding children with hormones to change their sex.
    Shameful and disgusting.
    I wouldn't take a baby rattlesnake to that place.

  6. I call bullsh*t on the findings of the “researchers.” Book smart doesnt equal intelligent.

    Hypothetically all but a few(*) of Tony’s KC readers were teenagers.
    Did 1/4th of us unknowingly suffered this affliction? Show of hands?

    * I assume the more thought provoking comments are crafted by precocious 6th graders.
