A bite from a copperhead snake, one of the world's most venomous snakes, has left a US woman with what health experts consider to be the world's most painful disorder.
Rachel Myrick said her condition, considered to be more painful than childbirth, means the slightest touch feels like she s "on fire from deep in the bones."

A woman who was prevented from sleeping due to increasing debilitating pain since she was just eight years old as a result of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) has been finally cured.
Ruby Chamberlain, from Houghton-on-the-Hill, Leicestershire, felt the pain for the first time in her left foot. It gradually spread across her lower body to a point where she couldn t stand without assistance or even sleep for more than half an hour.
