Everyone has pain at some time. When you have pain that persists, this can be frightening and discouraging. This can have a huge impact on your life. Pain does not have to rule you. With knowledge about pain and effective strategies, you can regain control of your life.

Along the pain journey, there may be bumps in the road. Remember, not everyone responds the same way to treatments and finding the regimen that works best to restore your functionality may involve trial and error. Work with your care team to make sure that you remain the center of attention, not the disease.
