In this paper we turn back to some of the life stories from the research project Silenced voices in times of "equality". Pain from a gendered perspective, with the aim to reflect the new methodological aspects of our work, which are different from the original methodological proposal of the original research project. Considering this we have worked in two parallel levels. The first one is a narrative analysis of these life stories, an analysis that has been complemented with the use of an intertextual approach. At the same time we've written a reflexive narrative about our analysis, as a way to visualize the subjective and socio cultural texts that configure chronic pain, from a gendered perspective.
