Welcome to Live Well with Pain. The website for people who are living with persistent pain and those who support them.
We now provide access to all our resources without the need to register or sign in. Simply choose one of the options below – it will take you straight to the content you need.
Just as before, ‘Resources for people living with pain’ and ‘Resources for practitioners’ each have their own areas of the site. The only difference is – you no longer need to register or sign in to access it.
Self-management looks at all these parts of your life and offers ways to make changes so you can get more out of your life.
It’s about discovering new ways to deal with the effects of pain on your life, learning new skills, and ‘taking back control.’
As anyone living with pain knows, pain doesn’t only have a physical impact. It affects your mood, it disrupts sleep patterns and daily activities. It impacts on your family and friendships and your ability to work. In other words pain affects every aspect of your life.
While it may be true that persistent pain can’t be cured, there are many other parts of your life where changes can be made.
As someone living with pain has put it: “self-management is about shrinking the part of your life that is about pain, and growing the other parts of your life, so that pain no longer dominates.”
