@colleenyoung
Is there a meeting where chronic pain support group members can talk with each other?
I would love to help you facilitate a meeting. I am a Mayo PRC graduate and have experience leading executives peer groups.
I need a support group like this and can’t find one.
Can we discuss?
Thanks

Just saying hi, new member here. I have been a chronic pain patient for over 20 years, have had 5 spinal surgeries and left with "failed back syndrome", with broken hardware and ongoing pain issues. I have been lucky to have good pain management, was on generic MS Contin for many years until recently when there has been a supply shortage, apparently nation-wide. I was just changed to Xtampza. So far it's working OK but I dislike how you have to take with a fatty meal or food for it to work properly. Kind of inconvenient. Hoping the ER morphine shortage isn't too long. Hope everyone having a good day.
