Pathway through Pain Recenzje 725

All advice easy to follow every section explained in detail. Found it most helpful will continue with all advise in the future.

Their words feel like they describe your situation exactly; you feel like they've lived through it personally and understand it, but it doesn't cure you 100%. It only greatly helps you learn how to deal with the situation, overcome it, and live your daily life.

Very informative
Lots of great ideas & tools for managing living with pain.

This is a great course for handling and understanding pain. It provides many videos and much information that you get to keep. They are patient with your progress.

It was good to see that most of what was talked about I could relate to, so I know I’m not the only one. However most of the physical aspects I already was aware of so I didn’t really benefit from them. Other parts were great though like the meditation videos to help relax.

It was just no help at all

Helpful tips

I’ve been on pain management clinic intermittently due to clinics being closed twice and administrative blunders. There has been no urgency to my necessary re-referrals and I’ve been through the Pathway through Pain programme or it’s predecessor a number of times. It’s pretty depressing to suffer an injury in 2018 and being medicated since with my circumstances getting worse and access to services also getting worse. I was discharged from my last pain clinic because they no longer met criteria to be a pain clinic. At the time of choosing they were the only green = good, coded clinic.

When my first appointment arrived they explained they didn’t manage medication (no prior information regarding this).

The information provided in the PTP is a repetition and didn’t assist pain management for me. It was very discouraging.

Hello.
I enjoyed the program and learned few things. I wish there was a book that I could order so I could go back to it and read.
Thanks

I really enjoyed the course and looked forward to the next session each time. I found the relaxation sessions very useful and I will carry on doing those. All the speakers explained their topic clearly and were easy to follow. The course was very well put together. Thank you.

I found this to be very good and helpful the conversations the relaxation & exercise videos were very helpful although I am still in pain a with OA i am continuing logging in to access the videos as will do anything I can do to try to ease the pain , because of serious health issues and the medication I have to take painkillers are very restricted and no anti inflammatory medication at all . I did feel they explained a lot about my pain and management and how to cope and ease it a little bit, unfortunately my GP has written me off at 75 I always been active and now I struggle daily and have now been told there’s no more they can do and I shall be in pain for the rest of my life which is very depressing.

I am very pleased that the relaxation and meditation sections are still available to action. I felt that they were too quickly incorporated.They are something that I haven’t tried before this programme and I now want to keep up.
The exercises are very well actioned.

No comment.
It just wasn’t that helpful for me personally.

I found this very helpful for chronic pain and easy to follow guidance videos. I have put alot to practice..I do have to work on the meditation side of things but im sure with practice I will get there.

Not sure this was the correct pathway for me considering all the chronic issues I have and experienced for so long after nerve ablation, spinal blocks, physio, ice therapy, and yet my MRI and X-rays recently revealed the deterioration of arthrosis, cervical spondylitis, spina bifida occulta, left hip dysplasia, right knee replacement after 20 years causing issues aswell as arthrofibrosis

It would be nice if I could have glass of wine to relax but on pain medication it’s no no.and going in the garden or beach to sun bath is not good for skin and having a fag is definitely not good you I think these should taken out

I wouldn't refer to this course as a pathway through pain, but it is an insight into pain. Most long-term pain sufferers have already been through most of these steps in order to relieve some of it themselves. Most have started with physio, and have tried various pain medications before being sent on this course, which feels like you are being told some of it is all in your head. I've given it 3/5 simply because some people may get some use out of the coping mechanisms used, such as calming techniques when you get angry at the world or yourself, or the understanding that you are not the only one in this position.

Nothing went wrong,all the doctors were lovely,just didn't help my pain atall I'm afraid

It’s been good to be able to do the course at my own speed, I enjoyed the meditations but as I’ve struggled for at least four years with the pain I am struggling with the idea that the course will overcome everything and all will be well but I’m going to try.

The exercises are useful but, I cannot do meditation sessions very well. Cannot relax. The chronic pain would have been okay if chronic daily headache was included as well as back pain.
