“I was 17…
…when I started experiencing persistent pain. One of the initial thoughts I had was that surely I was too young to be experiencing this level of pain!
“I quickly learnt that pain does not discriminate: it does not matter who you are. I’m now keen to raise awareness of how common persistent pain is in society and how it can affect anyone at any time.
“Your pain is your experience, and it is important to make sure your voice is heard when talking to healthcare professionals about your treatment.
“Your age, who you are or what you do should not be a barrier to getting support.”
– Georgia, person with experience of persistent pain
