'Challenging Pain' a unique free course from Arthritis Care aimed at giving people an understanding of what pain is, how to challenge it, and how to deal with it, starts at the Liskerrett Centre in Liskeard next month. The workshops are delivered over two weeks in two-and-a-half hour sessions by trained Arthritis Care staff and volunteers who have experience with chronic pain themselves. 'Challenging Pain' has been devised for people with all types of chronic pain conditions that have lasted for longer than three months. Participants will be introduced to a variety of pain management skills to help them manage their lives more effectively. It is estimated that as many as one person in seven in the country lives with chronic pain which can have a devastating impact on the sufferers themselves as well as their families ad carers. The workshops at the Liskerrett Centre will be held between 9.45am and 12.15pm on Tuesdays,
