Valuable Resources For Pain Patients


Today's post from americanpainsociety.org (see link below) is basically a list of resources and websites designed to provide information for people living with all forms of pain, chronic or otherwise. Given that neuropathy is a painful disease (even milder forms are uncomfortable) this resource may help you understand what you're going through and provide access to much needed information that your doctor may not have time to give to you. Worth a glance and maybe a click or two, for all pain patients.
