Masculinity and pain

Studies have shown that men in the Western world are less likely to seek help for medical conditions, leading to poorer health and higher mortality rates. When it comes to men who live with pain, how does masculinity impact getting the help they need?

In this month’s episode of the Painwaves Podcast, we’re joined by the new host, Leah Smith, and Dwayne Patmore, a patient advocate, veteran and man who lives with chronic pain. He shares his personal experiences and talks about the impact of masculinity on pain, the social challenges men often experience accessing healthcare, and his hope for the future of the Canadian Healthcare system.
