Although we’re under 3 inches of snow – and counting – the promise of Spring is coming.  Hope is wonderful.  Here are the best pain articles of the month to bring you a fresh perspective, new sites and exciting information.  Enjoy!

In Sickness and In Health reminds us to focus on the sweetness of the things we can do – no matter how odd they may be – like attending a 24-hour science fiction film marathon.

Fighting Fatigue offers wonderful advice when shopping for clothes.  Although it might not land you a job on the runways of Paris, it’ll make you more comfortable!

The First Ache, shared by Psychology of Pain, reviews the literature on fetal pain.  Thought-provoking!
