The American Pain Fondation has a great on line (chat) pain commumity . After joining I FELT UNDERSTOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY  Pain LIFE . NO JUDGMENT just understanding and compassion . You do have to register twice once for the site and second to get into chat.This is a safe site and I have never gotten any spam in connection to the site . The chats are Mon-Fri 11am eastern time and monday night and wednesday nights one is at 7pm and one starts at 9pm . They have a great military community there also . Good luck in finding someone online who cares and will listen to you and understand . I cried when i found others who understood me and all I have been through with out judgments . What a Godsend it has been for me .

Hi, I go through the same thing.  I have chronic back pain and it goes down the legs and I also wake up somedays a weeks with pain in my shoulders or pain in different parts of my body and I don't think my Doctor's understand or even care, to be honest.  I also have problems with my knee's.  I have had 13 surgeries to different parts of my body, I hurt from each of those site's, everyday.
