Gall poen parhaus effeithio ar unrhyw un o unrhyw oed ar unrhyw adeg. Amcangyfrifir bod rhwng 33% a 50% o oedolion yn y DU yn byw gyda rhyw fath o boen cronig, sy’n cyfateb i oddeutu 1\.3 miliwn o bobl yng Nghymru.


Gall y cyflyrau hyn gael effaith ddifrifol ar iechyd meddwl pobl, eu gallu i weithio, a’u perthynas â ffrindiau a theulu.


Cafodd canllawiau newydd ar gyfer byw gyda phoen parhaus eu lansio heddiw. Maent yn canolbwyntio ar helpu pobl i ddatblygu sgiliau i reoli’r poen parhaus eu hunain yn eu bywyd o ddydd i ddydd.


Mae hyn yn cynnwys hunanreoli â chymorth, gwella ymwybyddiaeth o boen parhaus ymysg staff gofal sylfaenol a’r cyhoedd, rhoi cyngor ar yr amrywiaeth o dechnegau rheoli ac adnoddau ar\-lein sydd ar gael, a gwella sut mae gwybodaeth yn cael ei rhannu.


Torrodd Julia Godden ei chefn ym mis Gorffennaf 2018, a hynny ar ôl goroesi canser yn flaenorol. Mae’n dioddef poen parhaus yn ei chefn oherwydd ei hanaf, a phoen yn ei choes chwith a’i dwylo oherwydd effeithiau cemotherapi.


Datblygodd Julia ddulliau o ymdopi drwy fynychu cynllun Rhaglenni Addysg i Gleifion yng Ngwent, sef cynllun y mae hi ei hunan bellach yn ei redeg.


Mae wedi ennill mewn Pencampwriaethau Cenedlaethol yn cynrychioli Cymru a Phrydain, ac yn fwyaf diweddar enillodd ym Mhencampwriaethau Para’r Gaeaf 2023\.


Dywedodd:



> Fe wnes i ymuno â’r Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) tra oeddwn mewn cadair olwyn ar ôl cael triniaeth cemotherapi ar gyfer canser.

> Dw i wedi treulio rhan fawr iawn o fy mywyd yn gorwedd mewn gwely mewn ysbyty, a’r un peth gartref yn teimlo’n hynod o wael ac wedi f’anafu’n ddifrifol. Fe wnes benderfyniad \- os oeddwn i’n ddigon da i godi o’r gwely, rhaid oedd cael nod bob amser i ganolbwyntio arno, a byddai’r nod yn fy helpu i gyflawni cymaint â phosibl tra bod cyfle i wneud hynny. Fy nodau ar hyn o bryd yw codi arian i elusennau drwy gerdded marathonau ar fy maglau, ac i gyrraedd y Gemau Olympaidd fel marchogwr para yn y gystadleuaeth dressage.

> Dw i’n rheoli fy mhoen gyda dulliau a ddysges i drwy ddilyn cynllun y Rhaglen Addysg i Gleifion, a fi bellach sy’n rhedeg y rhaglen honno. Yn gyffredinol, dw i’n disgwyl i lefel fy mhoen fod o gwmpas pump allan o ddeg, ond bydd y poen yn gwaethygu gan ddibynnu ar fy llwyth gwaith, a hefyd weithiau gall jyst waethygu’n sydyn.

> Dw i’n credu y bydd y canllawiau newydd hyn yn helpu i roi taw ar y syniad bod chi’n gorfod rhoi’r gorau i bopeth jyst oherwydd eich bod mewn poen. Dw i hefyd yn gobeithio y bydd y canllawiau’n rhoi mwy o hyder i bobl a’u helpu i gael hyd i gymorth ar gyfer pennu nodau a gweithio tuag atyn nhw.


Lansiodd y Gweinidog Iechyd Eluned Morgan y canllawiau newydd yn y Gynhadledd gyntaf ar Boen Parhaus yng Nghymru:


Dywedodd:



> Mae poen parhaus yn gallu cael effeithiau difrifol ar ansawdd bywyd unigolion â’u teuluoedd. Gyda’r wybodaeth a’r cymorth iawn, gallwn ddatblygu gwasanaethau poen parhaus mewn ffordd sy’n arwain at ganlyniadau a phrofiadau gwell i’r unigolion hyn.

> Mae’n bwysig i Lywodraeth Cymru bod pobl yn cael eu helpu i chwarae mwy o rôl ymarferol yn eu gofal eu hunain. Mae’r canllawiau a gafodd eu cyhoeddi heddiw yn gwneud hynny drwy hyrwyddo egwyddorion hunanreoli, cyd\-gynhyrchu, a gwneud penderfyniadau ar y cyd. Maen nhw’n gosod ffocws ar y person a’r hyn sy’n bwysig iddo, yn hytrach na chanolbwyntio ar faterion meddygol yn unig.

> 
> Dw i’n edrych ymlaen at weithio’n agos gyda’r holl randdeiliaid allweddol yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf er mwyn inni allu gweithredu argymhellion y darn pwysig hwn o waith.

Persistent pain can affect anyone of any age, at any time. It is estimated between 33% and 50% of the adult population in the UK live with some form of persistent pain, which equates to as many as 1\.3 million people in Wales.


These conditions can have a serious effect on mental health, ability to work, and relationships with friends and family.


New Living with Persistent Pain guidance launched today is focused on helping people to develop skills to manage persistent pain for themselves in their day\-to\-day life.


This includes supported self\-management, improving awareness of persistent pain for primary care staff and the public, advising on the range of management techniques and online tools available, and improved information sharing.


Julia Godden broke her back in July 2018 having previously survived cancer. She suffers with persistent pain in her back due to her injury, and pain in her left leg and hands due to the effects of chemotherapy.


Julia developed techniques to cope by attending a Education Programmes for Patients (EPP) scheme in Gwent, which she now runs.


She has won National Championships, representing Wales and Great Britain, and most recently won the Para Winter Championships 2023\.


She said:



> I joined the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) while in a wheelchair following chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
> 
> 
> I have spent an awfully large part of my life laid up in hospital beds, and at home being incredibly unwell and injured. I made the decision that if I was well enough to get up then I would always have a goal and that I would focus on that to help me achieve as much as I can while I can. My current goals are to raise money for charities by walking marathons on my crutches and to make it to the Olympics as a Para Dressage rider.
> 
> 
> I manage my pain with tools I learnt by attending the EPP program, which I now administer. I generally expect my pain level to be around a five out of ten, and that will escalate depending on my workload and due to impromptu flare ups.
> 
> 
> I feel this new guidance will help address the misconception that just because you have pain you need to stop. I also hope it will help people to gain confidence in themselves and find support with setting goals and working towards them.


Health Minister Eluned Morgan launched the new guidance at the first Persistent Pain Conference for Wales.


She said:



> Persistent pain can have major impacts on a person’s quality of life as well as their families. With the right information and support, we can develop persistent pain services in a way that produces better outcomes and experiences for these individuals.
> 
> 
> It is important to Welsh Government that people are supported to take a more active role in their own care. The guidance published today does this by promoting principles of self\-management, co\-production, and shared decision\-making. It shifts the focus on the person, what matters to them, and not just the medical issue. 
> 
> 
> I look forward to working closely with all key stakeholders in the years ahead to deliver on the recommendations of this important piece of work.
