About 28 million people in the UK are thought to be living with chronic pain – that’s 43% of the population, according to the 2011 Census.
But what is chronic pain, and how can it overlap with the perimenopause and menopause?
In this week’s episode Dr Louise is joined by Dr Deepak Ravindran, a consultant in pain medicine and author of The Pain-Free Mindset: 7 Steps to Taking Control and Overcoming Chronic Pain.
Dr Deepak unpicks the science behind chronic, or persist, pain and the two discuss the relationship between hormones, inflammation and pain.
