Management

Experiencing pain can
start to cloud one's view of one's life and can
have an impact on how one thinks, feels and
certainly on one's capacity to undertake
physical activities in the same manner prior to
the pain experience.
If it is severe pain, it
can effect one's capacity to be able to carry
out what is termed 'normal activities of daily
living.
If this is so then there
are major losses experienced which can effect
self-confidence, self-esteem, one's
independance, loss of status in one's family and
in society in general and may even effect one's
capacity 'to earn a living' .
All of these changes in
circumstances can have a detrimental effect on
one's relationships and often a person will
begin to feel helpless and hopeless in the face
of all of this.
