WELCOME TO THE POWER OF PAIN FOUNDATION

The Power of Pain Foundation (POPF) provides community based support services that address the immediate need of chronic pain patients with Neuropathy conditions such as RSD, CRPS, Post Cancer Pain and Diabetic Neuropathy. Accordingly, beneficiaries include patients who are economically and socially affected by these invisible diseases. Whether you have Neuropathy pain or are a caregiver, family member or friend of someone diagnosed, we'll help you face the challenges and life changes of chronic nerve pain, head on.

Do You Know !! Recent research indicates that more people in the USA have been diagnosed with RSD than BREAST CANCER, HIV, and MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS combined. More Info

Please use this a tool in making decisions, but do not rely on this info alone. More Info

Chronic Pain Awareness and Advocacy Program
Our Chronic Pain Symposiums arm pain patients, caretakers, family and healthcare professionals with practical info through Chronic Pain Symposiums and Expos. Tools learned include the patient's ability to understand healthcare communication including prescription instructions, test results, insurance forms, what to expect as a patient when receiving healthcare and what caretakers can do to assist the pain patient they are working with.

Faces of Motivation
Patients & caretakers submit pictures of themselves & family for presentation at Comic Pain Relief Events. Send pics with your name, condition & how long you have been living with the condition to be included.
