info_outlineAccording to the Centers for Disease Control, pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. However, for persons affected by hemophilia A and B, the experience of pain has provided the subtext for many issues related to health and wellbeing across the lifespan, and irrespective of gender, age, and, potentially, hemophilia severity levels. Although less-well characterized in children, pain is already embedded in the life experience of a PWH, and a substantial contributor to poor health-related quality of life in adolescence and young adulthood, further increasing in negative impact throughout adult life. In this episode, we explore pain’s prevalence, mechanisms, and more.
