An introduction to the Self Management of Chronic Pain
Chronic Pain is difficult to live with. It is hard to understand, you can’t see it and it varies day to day, sometimes for no apparent reason. In addition to pain, people often experience frustration, anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, low mood, isolation, communication and relationship problems. This brings many challenges.
