They require a kind coexistence with an unpredictable body and the perceptible and imperceptible pains that erupt at times least expected. This article tries to show how and in what ways chronic pain is a kind of suffering. In this article neurophysiological theories that reduce pain to a bodily feeling caused by the reaction of the brain are pushed aside and the lived experience of chronic pains in MS patients is phenomenologically studied. Through this investigation into disrupted memories, divine metaphors and sensational personal writings including fear of disability and constant practice of patience with the body, bodily dissatisfaction, and complaints of the body.
sability, practicing tolerance toward the body, and discontentment with and complaining about the body.
