Welcome to The Mayday Pain Project
The goal of painACTION is to help people improve their self-management of their pain condition. Written with the help of health educators, pain experts, and people dealing with pain, this site is a resource to come back to repeatedly, to track the occurrence of pain as well as to learn more. This site does not carry advertisements. The site does not host or receive funding from advertising or from commercial content. This site does not allow users to directly post content. All content is reviewed before posting to assure that it meets the editorial standards and does not contain advertising.

SPECIAL FEATURESThe Mayday Pain Project is focused on you; people in pain and those helping them. In this era of instant information we strive to present you with the best information fast, but to also get it right. We want you to have information and resources you can use that will stand the test of time. One way we do that is by regularly adding new features and resources. One such feature is the "Link of the Month". The Link of the Month may be to a site that is informative, news worthy or just plain interesting that relates to your health and well-being.
