Thought I'd chime in here with my own personal experience. The PRC was right for me, but I wasn't too sure of that for some time when chronic symptoms (anything lasting longer than 6 months) were amplifying and I was entrusting myself to mainly doctors and medications. It wasn’t until treatments were no longer working and I had had enough with the quality of my life diminishing and me feeling deconditioned both physically and mentally. I can attest that the PRC was a life-changing experience.

Are you someone who lives with chronic symptoms that dictate your life and you feel stuck? Are you possibly reading about the pain rehab center but feeling intimidated or fearful of committing to such a program? If so, I understand. It sounds like a tall order and it is, but 3 comprehensive weeks spent treating the whole person by a care team approach and providing tools for life is an investment that pays dividends back.

Have you ever considered Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation Center for helping to improve the quality of your life?

@rwinney Hello!
I am considering it, but having tried SO MANY things in the last 30+ years of pain, I’d really like to get a better understanding of what the program actually does with you for 40 hours a week/3 weeks? Can anyone, that’s been through it, give me an idea of what all goes on during this time? I can see it’s going to be a good chunk of change if I go, and I’ve already wasted 10’s, if not 100’s of dollars over those years, so I’d prefer to have a bit more knowledge going in to be sure it’s not just a repeat of 6 other program’s I’ve already done!
I’d greatly appreciate any input from folks with personal experience with this program!
Thanks and cheers!
