Info, community site launches for people with chronic pain

Healthcommunities.com has launched www.Painchannel.com, a community and information site for people suffering from chronic pain. The new site features physician-monitored content about conditions that cause acute and chronic pain, treatments, and diagnostics, descriptions of pain medications, and a worksheet to help patients work with a pain management team. A section of the site called Living with Pain allows users to read or share personal stories about dealing with their pain. There are also discussion forums addressing specific clinical conditions. Painchannel.com is one of Healthcommunities.com's 27 health-related websites.
