Welcome back to this week's episode of Take a Pain Check! Today, I'm thrilled to have Delane Linkiewich with us, sharing her journey with chronic pain and the incredible insights she's gained along the way. Delane opens up about her experiences, from the car accident that started it all to the psycho-social impacts she's navigated. We delve into the various physical therapies she's tried, her medication regimen, and how she managed treatment during the challenging times of the pandemic. Growing up with chronic pain wasn't easy, and Delane shares how she had to step back from activities at times. She also sheds light on misconceptions about chronic pain and her time in the clinic until she transitioned to adult care. As a passionate advocate, Delane discusses her involvement in research, including her master's work on peer support in pediatric chronic pain. Learn about her initiatives with the Chronic Pain Network, her role in the 'Putting the Pieces Together Conference,' and valuable tips she offers for those living with chronic pain.
