Ageing is a pain!
29/05/2006
Almost half of all people in the doctor's waiting room are there because they are suffering with arthritis and lower back pains. And our ageing population means that the number of people living in pain is destined to grow.
Coping with pain is a serious concern that will affect most of us at some point and, in response, Age Concern and the charity, Action on Pain have published “Taking Control of Your Pain”, a new guide to empower people who live in chronic pain, their friends, relatives, carers and the professionals who work with them.
The handbook, written by Toni Battison, a nurse with 30 years' professional experience, is comprehensive and easy to read.
