Are you worried about medication?
It's time for a reality check
While they can be effective for some pains, there is little evidence that so-called painkillers are effective for most chronic pain conditions. Despite this some 5m people are prescribed meds such as opioids or benzodiazepines. The thing is, for some, the medication might actually be doing more harm than good.
Pain science has evolved significantly in recent years
Pain is complicated. It starts with physical sensations but can affect your mood and life—like causing problems in relationships, work and money. Painkillers try to fix pain in a simplistic way. Doctors are now encouraged to think twice before prescribing.
Help is out there, but hard to access
With huge demand, it can take up to 2 years to see someone who knows about your pain, and you might not get much time with them. Paying for private appointments can be punishingly expensive, especially if pain impacts your finances.
