Dr Choudhury Islam, MBBS, is a medical doctor based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a clinical interest in chronic pain conditions, arthritis, and long-term musculoskeletal disorders. His work focuses on helping patients understand the realities of persistent pain, treatment limitations, and the importance of informed, evidence-based care over time.

Alongside his clinical practice, Dr Islam contributes health writing aimed at improving pain literacy among the public. He is particularly interested in how chronic pain affects daily function, treatment decision-making, and long-term quality of life. His articles emphasise clarity, realism, and patient understanding, avoiding oversimplified advice or one-size-fits-all solutions.

Dr Islam believes that better outcomes in chronic pain begin with better explanations—helping people understand what pain treatments can and cannot do, and why long-term conditions often require structured, ongoing management rather than isolated interventions.

Outside of clinical work and writing, his interests include [hobby or interest – e.g. reading, walking, travel, teaching], and exploring ways medical information can be communicated more clearly to non-clinical audiences.
