Is the Pain Rehabilitation Center right for you? Oct 30 10:02am | By Sarah Sheahan OTD-S (@sarahotd)Comment receiving replies
@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!
Melanie

@2boymom Hi Melanie! My apologies for a delayed response. I appreciate your willingness to still be open to a new possibility of rehabilitation despite having been through, as you say, "so many things" over the years. Understandably, the cost is a big chunk of someone's decision.
Here is an overview from Mayo PRC which gives good insight to daily happenings:

Also, you may wish to connect with graduates of the PRC like @tallyteresa, @connie2023 and others here who share their experience in the following discussion:

I agree that doing your research and knowing what you're up against is very important in making a decision, and each person's experience is their own. I hope this information helps you do some research and decide if the PRC looks to be a right fit for you.
May I ask, what would you hope to get out of the PRC experience that you haven't received from prior experiences with rehabilitation?

@2boymom I had to laugh at my own mistake here…the “…spent 10’s if not 100’s of dollars…”! That would have been nice, but it was supposed to read “thousands, if not 10’s of thousands of dollars”!
Just wanted to clarify! 😂
