I have a question about the episode How to Use Pain to Become the Best In the World | Rodney Mullen on Impact Theory and the clip Overcoming Pain. When I was in high school, I snapped my tibia clean, and they put a metal rod in the bone from my knee to my ankle. That was 15 years ago. For the last couple of years, any time I do something high-impact, I experience really bad pain at the site of the injury, sometimes resulting in bruising or a limp for a few days. I'm curious if you might know why this happens and what things I can do to help alleviate the pain so I can at least run again.

At age 15, I had an accident that resulted in a month-long coma. Now, at age 39, I consider myself lucky with my physical state, as I take good care of myself by going to the gym five times a week and maintaining proper nutrition. I value your podcast as one of the best sources of information available. While I've heard a lot about traumatic brain injury (TBI) on your show, I would greatly appreciate more in-depth exploration of topics that I am personally struggling with, especially those for which I don't have a clear answer based on my experiences and research. The primary question I have for myself is: Has the trauma changed me beyond the physical changes that can be observed?
