Many people worldwide are living with chronic pain! It is estimated globally that 1.5 billion people suffer from chronic pain which just seems uncomprehensible. Making pain a global public health concern. According to Pain Australia, ''one in five Australians are living with chronic pain and the prevalence increases to one in three people over the age of 65''. Suffering from chronic pain can take its toll on people mentally, physically and socially as it can lead to living a life of isolation as they are often unable to participate in activities that enhance one's quality of life. Diagnosing and managing chronic pain can be complex, takes time and everyone's experience of pain is individual. For this reason when speaking on chronic pain it was important to provide quality information on pain and pain management by speaking to a medical specialist in pain management - Dr Paul Graziotti who is a Pain Medicine Physician & Anaesthetist. In this interview with Dr Paul Graziotti provided an excellent overview of what is pain, the different types of pain, how is pain diagnosed and the varying treatment options available to help manage chronic pain. Dr Graziotti was asked in the interview about the use of opiods, medical marijuana, surgery, injections, physiotherapy and the many other treatment options that may be offered to people and used to treat chronic pain. A big thank you to Dr Graziotti for giving his time and sharing his years of expertise and knowledge on Pain with us all in this interview!

1 in 5 Australians live with chronic pain including adolescents and children, according to Pain Australia. As chronic pain is invisible, sufferers can feel misunderstood and stigmatised – even discriminated against – by co-workers, friends, family and even the medical profession. There is no easy solution or quick fix however there are some very practical ways that people with chronic pain can use to ensure they feel fully supported at work and with their family. Join Katie and Sam as they go beyond the common ‘just accept it and manage it’ approach by asking us to explore what a more comprehensive and self-loving care plan would look and feel like.
