Pain and gender
A new film starring Jennifer Aniston explores what it’s like to live with chronic pain. In it Aniston’s character Claire is not just physically affected - her condition impacts on her emotional and psychological health as well. Chronic pain affects more women than men, but are women treated sympathetically by medical practitioners, or are they more likely to suffer in silence because they fear doctors won’t take them as seriously as men? Maria Mansfield has suffered from chronic pain for 17 years, Joanna Bourke has explored how gender has influenced the treatment of pain in her book, The Story of Pain, and Liam O’Toole is CEO of Arthritis Research.
