Description

Pain is a widespread issue among the elderly population, yet it remains a frequently neglected aspect of healthy aging. This book explores the complex realities of chronic conditions such as arthritis, angina, neuropathies, and various bone and joint disorders that affect older adults. Many seniors suffer from under-treated pain due to systemic issues. This text examines how misconceptions about the aging process, difficulties in accessing medical care, and the social stigma surrounding pain admission contribute to inadequate treatment. By looking through the lens of disability studies, this work addresses why many older adults are reluctant to medicate or express their discomfort. Understanding these barriers is essential for improving care and supporting the well-being of the elderly. This book provides a deep look into the social and medical challenges faced by this demographic, making it a valuable resource for those studying social sciences, discrimination, and healthcare equity.
