I am from Canada and full of chronic pain from 2 car accidents both times being hit from behind. These accidents resulted in a
If entire of pain and I have been dealing with this for over 35 years. I am heavily medicated but today I started an 8 week,course at my pain clinic called Coping with Chronic Pain. As I just started I haven't experienced too much yet but the intent of this education is to help us to learn how to cope better with our pain and ideally to reduce our dependence on our heavy meds. We are focusing on understanding the nervous system, why our bodies react the way that they do, physiotherapy, occupational therapy & goal setting. We attend for 3.5 hrs every Friday for 8 weeks and each week we have take away physio work to do. I am looking forward to decreasing my dependence on medication. If you ever have the opportunity to take a course like this I think that you would find it helpful!
