Episode 2 - Persistent pain is common

You're listening to Professor Cormac Ryan of Teesside University and the Flippin' Pain team, here to flip your understanding of persistent pain. This is Episode 2 - Persistent pain is common.

"I was 17 when I started experiencing persistent pain. One of the initial thoughts I had was that surely I was too young to be experiencing this level of pain!

I quickly learnt that pain does not discriminate; it does not matter who you are. I'm now keen to raise awareness of the prevalence of persistent pain in society and how it can affect anyone at any time! Your pain is your experience and it is important to make sure your voice is heard amongst those of healthcare professionals when seeking treatment.

Accessing the level of support and treatment which addresses your needs is vital and your age, who you are or what you do should not be a barrier to this."
- Georgia (Person with persistent pain)
