Meet Hannah- Manager     Greetings I'm sorry you or a loved one suffers chronic pain, but I'm glad you found your way to this support group. First of all, please enjoy some of my favorite songs as you browse the site by listening to my Playlist.  Right click on the link to open in a new window, so as to be able to stay on this page  as you listen.  As a concerned parent looking for help for my  12 year son's chronic pain,  I stumbled upon this group via the blood disorder group,  and now, years later,   my son is 21, and here I am still.   I  did have episodes of acute  back pain on and off  since age 10 , due to having Scheuremann's  Disease.    After a fall about 12 years ago,  it became chronic pain, but never thought to join a support group.   Well, that is something a lot of parents do I suppose, they take better care of their family than they do of themselves!  The warm response from Dan and Cyndy and many of the members here was wonderful.  They answered questions and asked questions and had suggestions. Their support empowered me, and encouraged me.    I learned that we did not have to live with high pain levels,  and many useful tips that made daily life easier and helped prevent me from re-injuring my neck and back. I've got what millions of others have, you may have, and people you know have, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, Osteoarthritis.  Fibromyalgia, and Myofascial pain,  Scoliosis, & Scheurmann's Disease & Smorl's Nodes.    I have some other health issues, a seizure disorder and asthma.    Hannah Feel  free  to  drop  me  an  e-mail     Canada Pension Plan Disability Benefits Information
