My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been volunteering for US Pain for many years. It all started when I had a life changing accident and began experiencing severe, chronic pain on a daily basis. I fell down a flight of stairs and ruptured several disks in my back, tore my rotator cuff, and broke my wrist and elbow. I went through three spine surgeries, rotator cuff surgery, and a couple of other surgeries. My injuries were healed, but my severe pain did not go away. I developed something called Complex Regional pain syndrome. It causes severe, burning pain 24 hours a day. I also have Fibromyalgia and Lupus. I was no longer able to work or participate in many of the activities that I loved so much. There were no local support groups in my area, so I began looking online for some support. I joined a yahoo chat group which was very popular at the time. Paul Gileno was also participating in the yahoo group. Paul was in the process of transitioning his state wide support group into a national support group. I was excited to jump on board and do whatever I could do to help. US Pain Foundation is a national support group for people in Chronic Pain. The Volunteers for US Pain are people that are suffering with Chronic pain themselves. US pain works hard to do whatever they can do to make life better for everyone suffering from Chronic Pain. I don't know what I would have done without this group. I was able to meet people that understood what I was going through and helped walk me through it. Thank you US Pain for all you do to help those in Chronic pain.
