Hi Natalie Hudgins,

Welcome to The Pain Community (TPC). We wish we were meeting under different circumstances. It is beyond scary and frustrating not knowing from one doctor appointment to another if we will be able to receive the needed treatments that work to ease our pain and give us some quality of life.

We are happy that you have found us…[Read more]

Hi MelB,

Guit30,

It is the stigma of living with chronic pain. There has been so much negative information put out to the public in regards to opioids and chronic pain patients. This has been brewing for some years however it exploded when the CDC put out the guidelines in using opioid medications that were meant for primary care providers. All types of…[Read more]

Hi Terri,

We do understand the impact that chronic pain has on our mental health. Chronic pain isn’t just the pain — it is also how the pain impacts our whole lives and how it limits us from interacting with family & friends and the world in general.

We found this to be such a huge problem and concern for people living with pain that we started…[Read more]

I have degenerative joint disease and the disc have deteriorated so I have…[Read more]
