I still remember waking up in the middle of the night with a sudden, deep, throbbing pain in my left thigh. At the time, I assumed it had to be structural — a nerve, a muscle injury, something mechanical that needed fixing. What I didn’t understand then is that pain that wakes you from sleep, especially when imaging is normal or inconsistent, can sometimes be a clue that the nervous system is the culprit of pain. But back then, I didn’t know anything about neuroplastic pain.
