Pete says ‘Self-managing pain or a health problem is not as hard as you think and the best way to approach it is by taking small steps.”
As the saying goes ‘we want to run before we can walk’. Be patient with yourself. Easy-does-it. You will get there.
Always ask for help and support from your healthcare professional, family, friends and work colleagues. In time you will become more confident and in control.
Thanks to others who helped in the very early versions of the Pain Toolkit. Also, to all the healthcare professionals and patient groups who support self-management.
