Does anyone know of a support group (chat) that deals with chronic pain?


Question:
I have been dealing with chronic pain for the past 29 years for multiple disc herniations. If anyone has any information in this arena, would you be kind enough to inform me. I thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Barbara O.

there are quite a few here on yahoo. go to the yahoo groups section & type in "chronic pain..." there are 681 groups . some are condition specific, some are general pain, some are very specific like chronic pain sufferers in southern california...
i would also check your local newspapers for support groups thru your local hospital.
good luck.
You know that would be a good ideal! I have been to for the past 7 years! I know how you feel...I have had two surgeries so far and need another one! I will keep watching to see your answers we do need a chat group! Good luck and may god bless you!
I am a LMBT and Qigong practitioner who specialized in pain massage for years. You can e-mail me at andyhooang@yahoo.com and tell me more about your chronic pain. I am more than happy to help you as I can. Or, you can go to www.energymassagecenter.com for more info. Take care.

I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with chronic pain. It is very difficult to deal with and can make you feel like you are alone. However you are not alone and there are many people who can help. Just by talking and having someone else listen can be a life saver. But I bet you already knew that.

As for some support groups, the ones I use the most are

http://www.healingwell.com/community/def...

http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/foru...

http://www.paincare.org/phorum-3.4.8a/li...


There are of course many more but I have found that these groups are the most caring and compassionate and for the most part do not censor your posts like some websites.

I hope this helps, take care and here's to pain free days
