Helse Pijn plot

In “Infernal Pain” we follow 41-year-old Patrick, whose life has been turned upside down by chronic nerve pain after gallbladder surgery. Supported by his family, Patrick searches for pain relief at all costs. This brings him to the renowned pain specialist Frank Wille, who tries to get the pain under control with the help of neurostimulation, in which an electrical device directly influences the nervous system. The documentary shows the daily struggle of people with chronic pain. And also shows how far they are willing to go to change their situation.
