Living with long-term pain can be hard. It can affect almost all aspects of your life, such as work, hobbies, sleep, appetite, mood and relationships. Doctors and therapists are not always able to get rid of the pain. The cause of the pain is not always found, but you still have to deal with it. The aim of Pain Management is to minimize the impact pain has on your life and give you ways of controlling your pain as well as is possible.
