Chronic Pain
Many long-term illnesses and diseases cause pain, especially as we age and develop problems in our joints. Injuries can often be frustratingly persistent and many common painful conditions, from backache to headaches, plague people on a daily basis.
Always seek medical advice if you suffer from chronic pain.
Health professionals have made great advances in learning how to manage pain and help people to live with it, although unfortunately there are still long waiting lists for the few specialist clinics dealing with chronic pain. Ask your family doctor about the nearest pain clinic to you.
