Back Pain Blog

Four out of five adults will experience back pain at some point in their lives but understanding and appreciation of the condition is poor.

But along with the pain goes many a wide range of lifestyle challenges. It is the patient experience of back pain which we wish to explore in the blog?

In particular we are interested in the following questions:-
  • What were your first experiences of back pain and how were you diagnosed?
  • What treatments were you offered and how successful do you think they have been?
  • What effect has back pain had on your working and social lives? Do you feel there is any stigma attached to the condition?
  • What did you find were the best sources of advice about back pain?
  • Do you have any web sites you would recommend for other people in your situation?
These questions are only a guide and so please feel free to bring up any other issues that you consider are relevant to you. To Leave a comment simply click on the Leave Comment link below.
