Pain Management Community
Self Management
At Partnering Pain, we understand the unique challenges of living with persistent pain. Our pain management community support group is designed by people who experience pain, for people who experience pain. We aim to provide a safe space where you can find reassurance and learn how to manage your condition effectively. Here, you'll discover a wealth of resources, insightful advice, and stories that resonate deeply with your experiences.
Lived Experience Stories of Hope
Our Lived Experienced Stories of Positivity are a collection of narratives of pain management advice from community members. These stories acknowledge the tough days but emphasise the positivity and resilience found in the journey. We are continually working on new films that capture these stories, ensuring accessibility for all. If you'd like to share your own experience, there's a submission form available for you to contribute your story.
Juggle The Struggle
Juggle The Struggle focuses on the social determinants of pain. Social determinants are non-medical factors that can influence our health, for example access to health services and where we live which all make living with pain much harder. Here, we provide links to essential resources such as CAB, ACAS, NICE, and PIP advisors. This section includes a curated list of helpful websites, apps, and books, categorised by topics like pain management and mental health. Each resource comes with short descriptions and ratings to help you select what suits your needs best.
Medication
In our Medication section, we feature insightful videos from professionals discussing various medication types, alongside stories about tapering and living without medication. This section offers tips on talking to healthcare providers about medication, articles on managing side effects, and links to trusted medical sources for additional guidance.
In the Community
In the Community provides information on local events, peer support groups, and health coaching opportunities in the pain management community. We believe in the value of community engagement, and here, you'll find resources to help you establish your own support networks. Additionally, we showcase success stories from community members who have benefited from peer support, encouraging you to connect with others.
Flare Up Planning
Create a personalised plan with our Flare Up Planning resources, including checklists to identify early warning signs.
