Chronic pain — pain that doesn’t go away after the injury or illness has resolved and lasts at least three months — affects more than 3.2 million Australians.
During National Pain Week, which runs until August 2, Chronic Pain Australia is encouraging all Australians to learn about pain and how to manage it, as well as better understand what it is like for someone living with chronic pain in case they develop pain themselves in later life.
The theme of National Pain Week this year is Faces of Pain.
As part of the campaign, Chronic Pain Australia is launching two new resources to help Australians understand and manage pain — a video series called Faces of Pain, which hi h tells the stories of everyday Australians living with chronic pain, as well as a new booklet to explain what pain is and how best to manage it.
“We chose this theme because our community often speak of the stigma associated with chronic pain and the challenges they face because others can’t relate or understand what life is like with persistent pain,” Chronic Pain Australia national president Jarrod McMaugh said.
“We hope by showing what it’s like to live with pain, people will also learn what they can do to manage pain if they ever develop it in the future.”
The Faces of Pain videos and Understanding Your Pain booklet are now available at nationalpainweek.org.au
