Dr. Pam Roberts

Dr. Pam Roberts is one of the physicians at the Northwest Spine & Pain Center.

Roberts, 54, is a family physician who began noticing in 1987 that many women patients had chronic pain symptoms — nonstop tension and headaches — and would not talk about them.

She became fascinated with the subject and explored it, gradually focusing more of her practice on it, moving 18 months ago to the Northwest Spine & Pain Center.

Consequently, chronic pain patients often go from doctor to doctor — searching for answers, or even someone who understands what they are going through, Roberts said.
...
"We have to be holistic in approaching pain," Roberts said.
...
Roberts said: "If they can think of something other than their pain, then we're winning the battle."

Cari Weaverling feels that very few understand what she is going through.

Roberts was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1994.Roberts also suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, an immune disorder that causes a burning pain in joints, and osteoarthritis, which causes moving joints to hurt — all which increased her interest in and empathy for chronic pain patients.
