A Round-Up Of Pain Resources For You
Updated 2/14/2022. The only affiliate link below is The Pain Companion.
Chronic pain is a complex condition that affects each sufferer differently. It flares and calms down. Those of us with chronic pain just want enough relief that we can function. I’ve found that the more pain resources I have in my toolbox, the greater my chances are of making my pain manageable. What works for me may not work for you, and vice versa. I put this list of helpful resources together to give you ideas to try. Many of these have helped me. May they help you have more “less pain” days.
If you live outside of the United States, do a web search to see what local resources are available to you.
Also, local hospitals or clinics may have pain support groups. Your doctor’s office may also direct you to local resources.
