Pain Matters 87

In Pain Matters 87 we bring you a selection of articles spanning over a decade. We travel from a colourful approach to pain management in ‘Colour me Calm’, through techniques of brain imaging in ‘Picturing Pain’ and to a creative perspective to pain in ‘Describing Pain’. 

Dr Lars Williams’ latest ‘Letter to my patient’ tackles the tricky question of opioids and the gulf in understanding between prescriber and patient. 

Pain needs competition – diversions that create opportunities for wellbeing, mentally and physically. Whatever our fitness level, we are inspired to get out in the garden, or just get creating. 

We review Pain in Popular Culture and Airing Pain’s producer Paul Evans explains what drives him to make a success of the Airing Pain podcasts. 

We explore the power of peer support and compassion; if you struggle to explain your pain and “hidden battles that exist inside” then this issue is for you.
