This month, Sonic Relief made the decision to observe Pain Awareness Month by asking our followers “how pain affects you” for the chance to win a free Sonic Relief Starter Kit. Congratulations to our winner Kelly K.!
To close off the month of September we wanted to delve into the reason for recognizing Pain Awareness Month.
While certainly everybody is already aware of pain, many are still unaware of just how many people suffer from chronic pain conditions and just how severe the burden of pain can be.
We took the time to read every submission, comment, and message discussing your pain and how it affects your life. Through these entries we saw many similarities. Nearly everybody who experienced pain conditions shared feelings of:
isolation
frustration
and feeling overwhelmed by their pain.
Many people shared their difficulty in their ability to get treatment let alone treatment that provided relief.
"It's a pain that doesn't go away. It affects my body and mental health. I can't be as active or as happy as I once was." Anne F. back pain sufferer
Reading these submissions highlighted the real reason for pain awareness month, allowing those who suffer from pain conditions to have a voice and to be heard.
Bringing awareness to the seriousness of suffering from pain begins with listening to those who experience it first-hand. Through understanding the burden of pain we can work towards removing barriers to pain relief, finding better and more effective diagnosis tools, and removing stigmas and feelings of isolation surrounding pain.
Here are some solutions to start your pain relief journey.
