Pain4/8/2018 We all experience pain.
In many ways, it is easier to cope with phisical pain than with emotional pain. It helps that physical pain is usually short lived and there are many treatment options and most of us, don't even need to visit the doctor, just get to our local pharmacy to get some help. Emotional pain is a different matter. Sometimes we can't even define it. There is also chronic physical pain, the type thate is there to stay. So, what to do when we know that there is littel or nothing that a doctor can do to help? In the following days I'll be writing about some of the alternatives to managing pain. But, for now, just remember that exists for a reason and I;ll be exploring some of those also. Many people live with chronic pain and trying to manage it with medication alone creates other dangers, not lest that of becoming addicted to pain killers. Also, as anyone who had to take painkillers for any significant time knows, they stop working as well after some time. So, what else is available for those having to live with chronic pain? The HNS choices website (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Pages/hub.aspx), offers a lot of information and also links to other websites such as Pain Concern (http://painconcern.org.uk/), Action on Pain (http://wwwaction-on-pain.co.uk/) and Away with Pain (http://www.awaywithpain.co.uk/).
