Welcome

Hi, I’m Tina and I have travelled a difficult journey with both back pain and sciatica (neuropathic pain), following an accident in 2008. 

 

You can learn more about me from my ‘About’ page.

 

Through this website I share my thoughts on understanding sciatica,  understanding pain, self-managing pain and of living and working well with pain.

 

Created for both people living with sciatica and/or persistent pain and HCPs (particularly physiotherapists).

 

This website is divided into three main sections:  Understand Sciatica, 24 strands of Living Well with Pain and HCPs.

Very powerful, very compelling. Such a brave and hopefully cathartic outpouring. This needs to be shared far and wide, from student to specialist to surgeon. I totally applaud you and thank you for sharing.
Sandra responding to 'Dear Clinician'
This is so powerful it really should be compulsory reading for all health care professionals working with people with pain (so that's pretty much everyone).
Eve responding to 'Dear Clinician'
Amazing, this is actually describing myself. I received this information rom an MSK Physio, as I am currently going through a 'flare up. So much of this makes sense and is helping me to understand, re-adjust and go forward.
Kathy responding to 'Persistent pain pacing'
What an absolute gem of an article. I wish this could find its way into textbooks of all clinical specialities.
Mensah responding to 'Evidence Based Practice: A patient's journey'
Great post! I’m a clinician, and of course what we do to help patients doesn’t always work, so I’m looking for good educational resources to share for those who have to live with persistent pain. I too have struggled with simplistic accounts that suggest that all chronic pain is related to hypervigilance and trauma. I like the way you express your ideas clearly,
Miranda responding to 'A patient's understanding of persistent pain'
Amazing!!! I’m a MSK physio of a dozen years experience, and this blog succinctly describes much of what I try (blunderingly) to explain to patients with chronic pain. The advice is practical, easy to understand, and reflects the complex (and sometimes baffling) behaviour of pain and its foibles
