Video: Living with chronic pain

Do you live with chronic pain? Whether it’s from an old injury, a surgery or an undiagnosed condition, chronic pain can affect more than your physical well-being. It can prevent you from doing the things you love — from playing with your kids to taking a road trip. Chronic pain can be isolating and lead to anxiety and depression. It can make you feel helpless and like you have no control over your life.

If you or someone close to you is struggling with chronic pain, this video can provide you with information on how to better manage it — and enjoy your life again.
