Imagine a world where people with pain are believed. Imagine a world where people with pain are heard and shown respect and dignity. Imagine a world where pain is as important to manage or treat as any other disease. Imagine a World with Less Pain.
Imagine the possibilities — now is the time to rally together and speak out for the rights of the more than 116 million Americans who live with pain! You can help APF make a difference today.

"If I Lived in a World with Less Pain, I Could..." Campaign
1 childbirth w/ a 4th degree laceration, repaired in the birthing room, no ultrasound @ 6 wk. checkup in 2001. 2005 After many Dr. visits misdiagnosed, fecal incontinence, 2 colon surgeries, severe/chronic low back pain, numbness, tingling, burning, itching and the list goes on. My colon/rectal surgeon did a PNMLT test and a rectal EMG on me which determined there was nerve damage which he diagnosed as bilateral pudendal neuropathy.
