"Ageing well is about quality of life. Research holds the
key to unlocking the possibilities of ageing well" |
Many people suffer with pain, particularly chronic pain,
which does not respond to routine medical treatment. Here are some suggestions
to help you manage your pain better.
- keep a
positive attitude towards pain management.
- deal with
issues of pain one at a time. Different treatments work for
different areas of your body, so one management strategy may
not alleviate all the pain.
- avoid the
medication binge! Take medication only at the prescribed time,
rather than when you feel pain.
- consider
treatment options there are many available. Some options are
helpful to some people, but few work for everyone.Don't
be discouraged if the first few treatments you try do not succeed.
If you or someone you know is experiencing on-going
pain, ask your doctor about the range of treatment programs available.
