Pain Toolkit New Zealand: Make pain self-management, your first choice and not the last resort.
About this eBook
Like many people, I struggled to manage my pain back in the early 1990s. I was lucky to get myself on a pain management programme which gave me the information, skills, tools but more importantly the confidence to manage my pain, myself.
Since 1997 I haven’t had the need to take any pain medication, simply because I still use the information from the programme.
Is it easy? Well it’s like most things, you have to work at it. I’m not an academic guy, but if I can do it, then I know others can as well.
The Pain Toolkit is a simple information booklet that could provide you with some handy tips and skills to support you along the way to manage your pain.
It is not meant to be the last word in pain self-management but a handy guide to help you get started. All you need is to be willing to read it and take on board some of the suggestions.
Good luck...
