Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Kaleidoscope of Pain: What and How Do You See Through It” by Maja Smrdu. Abstract: Pain remains an unintelligible mystery. Given Smrdu’s efforts to expand the horizons for dealing with chronic pain, I re-present some constructivist ideas regarding communication, including commonly assumed features of communications between patients and clinicians, in particular sharing experience and understanding.
