Cancer-related pain
All pain guides Cancer guides written with your care team in mind
Your care team leads your pain plan. This page explains what we know, what we do not claim, and the questions to take to them.
Relief does not have to mean cure. Easing pain is an important part of cancer care, and your cancer team can discuss options to help. We do not claim that a massage gun relieves tumour pressure pain. Cancer Research UK advises people with cancer to avoid very deep massage and speak to their cancer doctor or specialist nurse before trying massage therapy.
We do not claim that a massage gun relieves tumour pressure pain, and a massage gun should never be used on or near a tumour.
We do not claim that Recovapro Air treats lymphoedema; specialist guidance comes first.
If a product page anywhere suggests a device treats cancer-related pain, that wording is wrong and we want to fix it. Tell us and we will.
Specialist palliative and pain teams adjust plans quickly. A change in pain is a reason to call them, not to wait for the next appointment.
We are developing RecovaSmart around the full story of pain: what it feels like, what it changes and what you have tried.
