Apparently the talented American actor, filmmaker and businessman George Clooney had an injury in 2005 while he was filming and felt out of his chair and sadly split open his head.
Fluid was leaking out from his “dura” which brought him into the surgery room. After the surgery his life change by having a chronic pain lifestyle.

Now you may ask what is Chronic Pain?
In the laymen term it is: Pain that last for a long time. Sometimes it is not debilitating.
In medicine there is the distinction between acute and chronic pain which is sometimes determined by an arbitrary interval of time since onset; the two most commonly used markers being 3 months and 6 months since onset or more.
Chronic pain may originate in the body, the brain or the spinal cord. Unfortunately more than 10% to 55% of people in various countries have chronic pain.

I mentioned the critical area of Clooney's injury; the “dura”
What is the dura?
It is the toughest, fibrous and outermost of the three membranes covering the brain and the spinal cord.

If for any instance you thought that falling from a chair can't damage your health or change your life, we can ask Mr. Clooney.
Be careful when sitting down or working on your chair and take care of yourself.
I would love to hear from you, let me know what you think I should talk about next.
Thank you for reading and if you shall have any question drop it from your chair LOL….
