In episode 15 I learn about the world of Chronic Pain, a condition that affects far more people than I realised. My guest is Dr Alan Fayaz, a consultant in pain medicine at University College London Hospital. He guides me through the science behind why we feel pain, explains what's happening when someone experiences chronic pain and educates me on the most up to date research in the field.

If you're looking for further reading or information on Chronic Pain, Dr Alan suggests looking at this page on the British Pain Society's website, which has a whole host of links and resources.
