You're not alone - join my "no drama" support group
It can be lonely living with chronic pain. But you don't have to be alone.
The Chronic Pain Champions - No Whining Allowed support group offers a "positive” resource for people with non-cancer/end-of-life chronic pain, caretakers (family and friends), medical professionals, and industry experts to champion pain.

No pain talk, complaining, woe is me, or negative talk is allowed as it can make the pain worse.
Education, pain management information, and reassurance/support are always welcome.
