I found a great webcast series on chronic pain at the Pain Awareness website. PainAwareness.org was launched as a site for practitioners to receive the latest information and insights into pain management during the month of September which is Pain Awareness month.
Part 1 of the webcast series, Keep Moving! Pain Doesn’t Have To Hold You Back, talks about the role that excercise plays in managing chronic pain.
Part 2 of the webcast series, Is Your Persistent Chronic Pain Weighing You Down?, discusses how weight can affect your chronic pain.

My name is Steve Brown, As you are here I will let you know about the benefits my wife is getting since using the pain relief patches.
My wife was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis 8 years ago and aside from all the other effects of this condition, pain has been a constant.
Yeah okay, I’ll give it a go” she said, after I talked to her about the patches.
I AM NOT KIDDING, EXAGGERATING OR MAKING THIS UP she noticed a considerable reduction in her pain levels WITHIN MINUTES!! Now before you get too exited ALL the pain did not go away but it was brought to a level that she could cope with and even ignore.
Believe me when I tell you this; as a loving partner of someone struggling with a chronic condition it is not easy, I don’t know if you can appreciate how happy the effect of these patches on my wife had on ME. You might think I sound selfish, but try and imagine the person you love struggling every day and you can do nothing to help!!
