Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
This is the greatest group of people that I have ever been associated with regarding Chronic Pain.
If you read something and think, these people are not making sense, or they are so negative, or even worse........they look like a bunch of crazy people!! Please understand this:
Some of the topics are centered around mistakes people have made, and they may be working on taking ownership of those mistakes. If you are reading this then there is a good chance that you suffer with (CP) Chronic Pain, and I ask that you look closely at each topic. Don't be turned away by hot or heated topics, and you will find that you may have a chance at experiencing the life change that is awesome!
We are a caring group of people who are human. We share a great amount of our personal experiences, from our hearts, openly, but again, we are not perfect.
Check out the topic.....I Need A Hug, I'm Here, I feel.... and if you want to share something. I am not on this site all the time, but if you have any questions, feel free to send me a message, I will reply ASAP, or just respond to this thread.

I know I'm not perfect and chronic pain can make us emotional at times and/or the words don't come out right when/if upset.
I know I've messed up a couple of times as have many & I admit this & try to be what is always posted below the place we are able to comment; I _____, do promise to be nice.
Even in venting we can hear and feel someone else's frustrations with learning to live with chronic pain or not getting the treatment they deserve by the medical community be it a doctor unwilling to prescribe the needed meds to improve function and quality of life or just personally trying to get to the point of acceptance which even took me years to do.
colek; I think you have a wonderful outlook which I know helps you & it's so understandable how loved ones who really do care have more troubles than we do in acceptance at times or worry for us.
This group is here to hopefully give the best support but to also give people who are stuck at home a lot (as I am much more than I'd like to be) the chance to meet people that are not only understanding but true friends that are made here and how even I have made bonds with people that will last a lifetime.
When we become someone with CP, we can lose so much in life including friendships bc they don't understand or stick around to try to. Here you can find people that want to be here for you & support you even if it's to cry on each others shoulders or listen to you vent.
I know how blessed we are to have this group as it's the only one I've ever been in with such loving and caring people from all different types of chronic pain; not just one disease which only helps us understand ourselves even better hopefully.
Welcome to anyone that is new or thinking of joining. Please know that there is so much more support and friendships that are made here daily than there are problems or issues w/ others.
Glad to be here!
