Mark Wallace M.D. brings you this video on Chronic Pain in Women: Pain Management. From the UCSD School of Medicine and the Diana Padelford Binkley Foundation, Mark Wallace M.D. bring you this groundbreaking series to improve awareness of the prevalence and severity of pain in women.
I highly recommend viewing this short video, so much so that instead of a link I embedded it directly into this post so that its convenient for all my readers to get the information. If you are female and you suffer from any of the known chronic pain conditions, you do yourself a service to watch this video and see how it affects your day to day life.
Chronic pain has been seen to have gender differences between men and women. This video explores some of the pain management given to women in chronic pain (whether that be fibro, interstitial cystitis, or other chronic pain conditions). To see more on Female Differences in Most Chronic Pain cases please see the embedded blog link.
