Pain Speak

Send us Fan Mail

Welcome to a Pain Speak Special focussing on a new book on pain "The Painful Truth" by Oxford based junior doctor and academic scholar Dr Monty Lyman released on 15th July. This becomes the 7th book on pain released in the UK in just the 6 months of this year! We're currently experiencing a Renaissance in pain science and it is great to add Monty's book to this fantastic list of  resources for our patients and general public and for anyone interested in knowing more about pain science.

In recent years our understanding of pain has altered so radically it's fair to say that everything we thought we knew about pain is wrong. I made the case in my book as well.  As Dr Monty Lyman reveals, we misunderstand pain - with harmful consequences. This is Dr Monty Lymans second book. His first one " the Remarkable life of the skin" was shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize". He is a remarkable story teller and in this book , The Painful Truth, he explores and presents cutting-edge research, encompassing phantom aches to persistent pain, and interviews survivors of torture as well as those who have never felt pain.

It shows the myriad ways in which pain acts as a protector sometimes unnecessarily. He not only provides hope for reducing and managing pain, but takes us to a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. In the end he presents the hopefuly side of taking this knowledge and using it for improving our health and I am glad that i got a chance to be featured as well!

This is the untold story of pain - our most elusive feeling and I am glad that I got a chance to be interviewed for the book and he has agreed to come on to this podcast. Hope you enjoy it.

It has been a hugely gratifying  and humbling experience to get the chance to set up the Longcovid Service for Berkshire and work with a great team from primary and community care. We have learnt a lot and are continuing to learn as we help our patients suffering from Longcovid and offer them support, a listening ear, appropriate testing and treatments where available in a  trauma informed manner.

In this episode, I speak to Co-Founder of Longcovid.Physio . - a global peer support and advocacy group for Physiotherapists (Physical Therapists) and support workers living with Long COVID.

He is a clinical and academic Physiotherapist specialising in the field of HIV, disability and rehabilitation and leads the HIV rehabilitation service at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Darren contracted COVID-19 in March 2020 and continues to live with Long COVID. An advocate for Long COVID research, he has become a familiar person enabling meaningful engagement of people living with Long COVID in all responses to COVID-19.  Darren has an impressive day job at London already and he has helped amass an incredible set of resources for patients and healthcare professionals through this website.

I hope you enjoy the show.

We have learnt a lot and are continuing to learn as we help our patients suffering from Longcovid and offer them support, a listening ear, appropriate testing and treatments where available in a  trauma informed manner.

In this episode, I speak to associate Professor Jane Parker based at the University of Reading. Trustee and Advisor to the charity Abscent. A chemist by training, she is based at the Flavour Centre and has had huge experience of work around olfaction and food smells. With previous experience of looking after people with smell disorders in other viral infections and brain injury, she is the right person to talk to us about taste and smell and the strange changes that happen in some people after COVID 19.

She talks to us in great detail about anosmia (complete loss of smell) and parosmia (altered smells) and how it can be managed and treated.

It has been a hugely gratifying  and humbling experience to get the chance to set up the Longcovid Service for Berkshire and work with a great team from primary and community care. We have learnt a lot and are continuing to learn as we help our patients suffering from Longcovid and offer them support, a listening ear, appropriate testing and treatments where available in a  trauma informed manner.

In this episode, I speak to my consultant colleague Dr Blandina Blackburn, Occupational Health Consultant. Dr.Blackburn has been working with staff at the Royal Berkshire for many years and is a hugely respected national figure in Occupational Health and represented her profession at the highest levels.

We had recently collaborated to write an article for the Journal Occupational Health@work. In the podcast episode, I wrongly mention it as an editorial so apologies for the error. Please find the link at https://www.atworkpartnership.co.uk/journal/issue/17_5/contents/long-covid-and-its-implications-at-work


She has been invaluable in providing a clear sounding board for many patients who havent been able to go back to work and this includes a large number of NHS workforce. There is a lot of confusion prevailing right now as to how return to work can be established when we are still learning about the long terms effects of Post Covid so I am glad that Blandina can inform us about the complexities and suggest a way forward for now. Rulings are likely to change and we might have her coming back once we know more about the condition and laws change  and courts make further announcements.

In this episode, I speak to my consultant colleague Dr Abrar Hussain, Consultant Psychiatrist at the Berkshire health Foundation Trust and the lead for the Medically Unexplained Services locally and also supporting people with Functional Neurologic Disorders.

We had collaborated often to help many patients with overlapping physical and mental health issues. In this episode, he talks about the influence of viral infections and associated neuropsychiatric issues and highlights the multiple contributory effects on a persons physical and mental health. He also talks about the role of COVID 19 and treatments in ICU and associated PTSD and the impact of anxiety and hospitalisation and isolation.

In this episode, I speak to my fellow colleague Tarryn Ashworth, a specialist occupational physiotherapist. Tarryn has been working with COVID patients admitted in hospital from the first wave onwards. Normally working in an inpatient manner, this has been a new role in bringing her expertise to the outpatient management of Longcovid patients.  When I set up the Longcovid service, Tarryn has been invaluable in providing assessment and support for those patients struggling with fatigue and working alongside Harriet to set up personalised plans for our patients.

In this episode, I speak to my fellow colleague Frankie Knight, a specialist respiratory physiotherapist. Frankie has been working with COVID patients admitted in hospital from the first wave onwards and has also done longstanding respiratory rehab for patients with long term lung conditions.  When I set up the Longcovid service, her experience alongside her colleague Laura Cornish, has been invaluable in providing assessment and support for those patients struggling with breathlessness and chest pain symptoms despite having normal tests and scans. Breathing pattern disroders are very common and she talks about simple measures which you can do for yourself in this episode.

We have learnt a lot and are continuing to learn as we help our patients suffering from Longcovid and offer them support, a listening ear, appropriate testing and treatments where available in a  trauma informed manner.

In the first episode of this series, I speak to 2 patients who are part of the Longcovid SOS group .

Each tell their story from their perspective and it is more  than important in a condition like Longcovid to know what the lived experience of these patients are and their symptoms  to be taken into account when designing a service that can meet their needs. Each persons symptoms are unique and thei experiences are different and I have learnt a lot from talking to my patients on how varied their presentations have been and how they have told their story.

In future episodes, I will be talking about our present upto date understanding around  Longcovid and newer studies and research and my team at Reading Berkshire.
