Welcome to the new Chronic Pain group.

I’m Kelsey and I’m the moderator of the group. I look forwarding to welcoming you and introducing you to other members. Feel free to browse the topics or start a new one.

Why not take a minute and introduce yourself.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

@stuckonu I'm still learning how to navigate online groups. And I tend to get going in a message and before long I've written more than most people would want to read.

Have you found a discussion about sbo in one of the Connect departments? I've not looked for one. If you don't find one you can always start a discussion. I started a discussion about suicidal thoughts, so if I can, you should have no problem doing it.

@babette
@stuckonu is the one who introduced the abbreviation for small bowel obstruction. I'll try to find the link to the discussion I started. It would probably be be in the depression group.

@babette The discussion is in the mental health topic. It's called I survived suicide attempts.

Babette, “SBO” is Small Bowel Obstruction. I think you need to go to the “ Digestive “ group and scroll down until you find it. I wondered about posting a new post without hitting reply and having the posters name in the post as should happen here with my name and your name in the heading

@amazingteal, welcome to Connect. That is 55 years. Are you with the same Dr.? Where is your pain located? If you could have one health wish what would that be? I am Chris and my purpose for responding is to introduce you to Connect. May you have relief from your pain today. Chris

Hello I am Olivia 22819 and I suffer from migraine for 34 years! They impact the quality of my life including work, responsibilities, children and enjoying life. in addition medications to relieve the agony bring on negative side effects too! 😩 I just literally had a flair up that lasted 12 days. Today is when I began to feel better.
