Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is, well .... a pain! And it's a pain to live with. We often go through our day putting on our "happy" face. We struggle to be and act "normal". When we go to work, our co-workers have no idea what it's like for us. We do the same job while enduring chronic pain.

Our friends and family know we have pain, but they don't really understand how we feel or how we to endure pain. Because we hide it, even from them.

Pain drains a lot of energy. Support is necessary and appreciated. Support is more than acknowledging our pain. It's doing things to help us manage and track our pain. Finding any way that helps us understand and manage our pain is a good thing. Being proactive is a big step towards learning about our pain. If we can discover things that trigger our pain, then you can take steps to avoid that trigger. And ultimately maybe learn to reduce the our pain.

No more paper forms

Better communication

How much time do we really spend telling our healthcare provider all the details about our pain or symptoms? Most likely we skim over the highlights. What if your healthcare provider could look at a report and get all the details faster than we could actually tell them?

Communication between pain sufferers and our healthcare providers is often limited by time. We need better communication because our healthcare providers because they may not understand what we are trying to tell them. Maybe it's because they are too busy to listen. But more likely it's because they are not understanding what we are trying to tell them.

We don't always remember details about our pain, and sometimes under or over emphasize pain that happened weeks ago. Now there's a better way to quickly see how our pain is progressing. Getting information faster means more time can be spent discussing treatment options.
