My Community Guidelines:
- Be Friendly: People in pain have plenty of challenges in their lives and do not need further aggravation. We are all here to help each other.
- Language: Anyone using abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, threatening, obscene or sexually explicit language are not welcome in the community and will be blocked from posting messages in the community section.
- Solicitations: Advertising of any kind, including emailing chain letters or advertisements, or soliciting business of any type is not allowed.
- Copyrighted Materials: Copyrighted materials should not be posted in the community forum.
- Medical Advice: The community section is a tool that allows you to share experiences and offer support and encouragement. While pain patients may have similar experiences, everyone's situation is unique. Do not, under any circumstances, give medical advice.
- Physician and Health Care Names: Specific references to physician and/or health care names is not allowed. It is not our intent to bash or promote individuals or companies, but to learn how to work with our physicians and other health care providers. Please say "my doctor" or "a health care company."
