Forum Discussion
I watched the episode and as Summerhill suggested there wasn't anything new - I attended a two day Pain Management seminar (excellent) about two years ago - very informative. I took a couple of things from this - 1) this is a new reality, how you going to manage? and ....are you prepared for the long haul? 2) Find something in every day that you find satisfying - develop this habit for good mental health.
We were also given a very detailed explanation of the drugs available for chronic pain with potential side effects. I found in this seminar that their advice, suggestions etc for chronic pain were identical to those given by BCNA, the Cancer Council and breast care nurses.
Back to the TV - a couple of the participants reported on the problems with opioids and the benefit of specific exercises easing their pain.
So worth watching however nothing new.
