From: http://www.painfoundation.org/take-action/conquering-pain-together/
"Pain is a growing national public health crisis that affects an
estimated 76.5 million people and has serious economic ramifications."
"A hallmark of many chronic conditions, pain affects more Americans
than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined."
"Despite this prevalence, access to appropriate and effective pain
care remains a barrier for many Americans."
"These barriers disproportionately affect women and minorities."
...and much, MUCH more...

Oh, the pain... THE PAIN...

Umm... Yeah, that's the whole point. I, and I know for a fact many
others on this group, am living proof of that.
Part of the point is that while the pain is not "fixable", there is
help and support, and there are ways/techniques of coping with it
rather than (and I'm not referring to you or anyone in this group)
wallowing in negativity/self-pity or taking that step for which there
are no mulligans.
