The British Lymphology Society is a dynamic and innovative body providing a strong professional voice and support for those involved in the care and treatment of people with lymphoedema and related lymphatic disorders, including lipoedema. The Society seeks to achieve high standards of care and equitable access to treatment across the UK and promotes early detection and intervention and, where appropriate, screening and prevention. The Society was established in November of 1985, originally as the British Lymphology Interest Group (BLIG).
This is a community for people with chronic pain and those who are part of the care network. The community has been set up as a safe space for individuals to discuss their personal journeys, how their daily lives have been impacted, the variety of stigmas associated with chronic pain, and various strategies that have helped, or not helped. The symptoms vary by individual and are experienced as a mixture of both physical and psychological presentations. It mustn't be forgotten that while it impacts the individual it can also impact the relationships those individuals are maintaining and developing. It is essential to have a multitude of voices and clinicians will provide their perspectives around the management and treatment options that they provide. A few topics coming are: The Pain Scale, How to make visits to our doctor productive, General Chronic Pain information, Relationships, Brain Injury (TBI), Dystonia, RSD/CRPS, Spasticity, and the stress on your body/mind can also cause pain. Controlling pain with a Pain Pump and the experience of a NeuroStimulator. Alternative pain relief that might help and work our way to to the Pump. Please be respectful when joining this community.
