Hi Grace,

Your story and journey with pain is to be validated in every way. What you are experiencing is real and no one should ever feel they have the right to tell you that it isn’t.

You can post here everyday and write has much or as little as you want and we will read it and we will respond with compassion and understanding and friendship.…[Read more]

Hello, Detour12,

We are sorry to hear you are experiencing this pain. We are unable to suggest any treatments for you as we are not medical professionals. We read you are going to see a urologist and that is good. Even though you did speak to your doctor it is hard to make a diagnosis over the phone, can you make an appointment and go in to see…[Read more]

CecilHester,

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

Hi MelB,

Welcome to The Pain Community (TPC). We understand as with all chronic illness, people with pain often feel isolated and alone. They can feel separated from their families, friends, communities, and all too often, from life itself.

Here at TPC we understand that people with pain need a safe, judgment free place where they can share and…[Read more]

Hi Terri,

We are so pleased that you are finding The Pain Community (TPC) to be helpful. If you are available we actually have one of the support calls tomorrow, Tuesday, June 5th at 1pm ET.

I do understand how the pain isolates because I also live with pain. At times it can feel like I am the only person left on the planet. That is where…[Read more]

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]
