With pain, it's really worthwhile going to a pain clinic.

A little diversion here.

With back pain, often you have an injury.

The injury heals, but your brain has learned to have the pain.

And so even though the injury is gone, you still have the pain.

And pain clinics can help you get out of that.

And also a neurologist.

So you need to go through your GP, and there are two pathways to head down.

pain management and a neurologist, and almost certainly you can have a better outcome further down the line.

Yeah, and thanks for sharing, Nate.

Hope you're all good.

I really hope you get better.

I'm confident that something better will come out of it.

Yeah.

The thing is that talking is the most complicated activity that a human can do.

And if you get a child who apparently talks fairly well, an eight or nine-year-old child, and say, can you say for me the words British Constitution?

or most certainly they'll slur because they can't do it yet, but they will.

Normally they get there by 10 or 12.

So I have a brain defect, which is that I will very confidently say the wrong word and I can be reading off a script or an autocue, and if my producer here at the ABC is not paying attention, instead of saying, the environment has changed, blah, blah, blah, and I will say very confidently, the elephant has changed, and I'll put it totally confidently and...

I don't – I had no record of saying that and it happens.
