Imagine having to endure eight long years of agonising pain as the legacy of an operation.
It turned fit actress and dancer Deborah Padfield into a physical wreck, unable to walk or even stand without suffering excruciating pain.
Then came a lifeline - the INPUT pain management unit, at St Thomas's Hospital in South London. Deborah was taught how to manage her pain and to live a normal life.
But Deborah wanted to do more. In collaboration with the country's leading specialists in the field of chronic pain management, she is about to bring out the book Perceptions of Pain.
Deborah joins Jenni alongwith with Dr Frances Cole, a pain-management expert, who's been trialling some of Deborah's images with her patients in Bradford. Tell us your views/experiences Perceptions of Pain, by Deborah Padford, published on 11 September 2003 by Dewi Lewis, ISBN: 190458702X. Copies available direct from publisher beforehand: mail@dewilewispublishing.com The exhibition will be touring nationally beginning at the Western General Hospital Gallery in Edinburgh, opening on 18th September 2003 For more information contact the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Actionline on 0800 044 044
