Declaration for Access to Pain Management

Post by Charlie »

Could everyone please sign this declaration which has been prepared by the International Association for the Study of Pain.

It is entitled

Declaration that Access to Pain Management Is a Fundamental Human Right

It only takes a minute to do.

Mods I notice there is an option for organizations to sign this. It would be great if as an organization Pudendal Hope could sign it. It looks simple to do.

Tried numerous medications as well as a long period of myofascial physical therapy combined with meditation/relaxation. My pelvic floor muscles are now normal and relaxed on exam ( confirmed by many Pelvic floor PTs) yet my pain remains the same. Also have intense leg pain. Deciding on next treatment.

I signed it as an individual.

I agree that if the MODS could have HOPE sign it as an organization, that'd be great. :D

Thanks for this info Charlie. The HOPE Board is meeting again next month so maybe we can discuss this then.
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Charlie, just wanted to let you know that the HOPE directors met and we were very interested in signing this but we are in the process of applying for 501c3 status. As a charitable organization, we cannot do anything that might be misconstrued as exerting political influence so we decided to sign it as individuals.

Violet, firstly thanks for signing it as individuals. I understand, I would not want to jeopardize your application.

I would encourage any other forum members to sign it.
