Help With chronic Pain
Pain is never a pleasant experience, but in most cases, it passes, and we emerge as stronger people because of it. Unfortunately, this does not hold true for everyone. Whether it be muscle problems or arthritis, some must live with pain for their entire lives.
In 2003, the BBC published the results of a survey which revealed that an increased number of people under the age of 50 are suffering from chronic pain. 3,000 out the 46,000 interviewed were from the UK, and the survey looked at the ways in which chronic pain influenced peoples lifestyles. The results made evident that chronic pain impacts people in more ways than one " not did sufferers find it difficult to complete ordinary tasks, but their relationships were heavily affected, causing some to fall into severe depression. But why does this happen?
Statistics show that one in five sufferers said they had been diagnosed with depression as a result of the pain, and 16% of these had even contemplated suicide. The prospect of having to suffer for the rest of their lives drives people into sheer hopelessness, and as physical pain turns emotional, many people get sucked into a downward spiral.
Yet chronic pain does not only impact the sufferer " it impacts those around them as well. The individual often becomes so distracted by their pain that it puts pressure on their relationship with others. According to the survey, 27% have noticed deterioration in the relationship with their friends and family, so it becomes evident that chronic pain affects people both on a personal and social level.
Even though the survey was conducted in 2003, it still bears relevance today, particularly since new medicines and treatments are surfacing every year. Yet if we compare the British medical system to others " such as the American or Brazilian one, it does appear that the British models have many limitations. Sufferers of chronic pain have been quoted saying that British doctors are often reluctant to prescribe medication, and only provide them with quick-fixes for their problems rather than long-term solutions.
Indeed, two-fifths of the people interviewed complained that their pain still hadnt abated a little, even though they had been advised by a medical professional. A few have even gone as far as to say that Britains GPs are unsympathetic. Various pain management experts (Dr Berverly Collett, President of the UK's Pain Society among them) agree, however, that Britains doctors are not doing enough to help sufferers deal with their chronic pain and minimize their symptoms.
As a result, many people are turning away from modern medicine, and opt for visiting massage therapists and osteopaths for a more traditional approach to pain management. A lot of people report to be pleasantly surprised at how well this seems to work. Traditional techniques such as hot stone massages, acupuncture, and joint therapy have often proven to be more effective to targeting and eradicating pain than any pill offered at the local drugstore. This can be enough to give many chronic pain sufferers the strength and hope they are looking for, giving them back their ability to not only manage their pain, but also their relationships and happiness.
