Everyone at some time in their lives will experience pain, and in time, it will improve. Unfortunately for some people it does not.

Regrettably for some painful conditions there is no cure and it will persist for the duration of that person’s life.

The persistent nature of this type of pain can cause many difficulties including; participation in hobbies and social activities, maintaining work, relationships with others, and mood.

This is common for those suffering with chronic pain.

The aim of the pain unit is to improve your life with chronic pain.

Once referred you will be asked to attend for an assessment appointment with a consultant pain physician.
