ON Thursday 22 Feb, Pete Price ran a phone-in about Chronic pain, as part of his regular show, 10pm-2am, Monday to Thursday, on Radio City 96.7 (listen to Radio City online).
I have a personal interest in this subject and just had to get involved... to find out about me, please click here.
The show started with interviews with Dr Peter Murphy and Nurse Claire Haslam, who care for people who have chronic pain, at the world renowned The Walton Centre For Neurology and Neurosurgery, Fazakerley, Liverpool. Click the links below to hear what they had to say:
Next, I had the chance to speak out about what it's like to live with chronic pain.
Heather and Alan spoke next, talking about their experiences and the support groups they run for people with chronic pain.
Several other callers spoke about their pain, their experiences and their coping methods.
I would personally like to thank Pete Price very much for this show, as I believe it will have helped countless people for whom pain is a daily reality. I now know about the Walton Centre and will get a referral to it as soon as possible!
