Supporting People with Chronic Pain 

Have you ever had a period in your life when the main thing you recall from it was the relentless pain? What about a period when you were a caregiver for someone with chronic pain?
In this video, Richard Hill talks about supporting those who are dealing with chronic pain, whether the person supported is the one with the pain, or the caregiver to the one with the pain.
More specifically, Richard Hill defines what chronic pain is and suggests some of its causes; explains the roles of the nervous and immune systems in creating chronic pain; and outlines the treatment options for dealing with it.
