#livingwithpain: Lets Make Pain Visible





What’s it like to live with chronic pain?
It’s often hard for those living with pain to explain, and even harder for someone without pain to understand. As part of National Pain Awareness Week 2016, PainBC wants to shine a spotlight on chronic pain and raise awareness about this often invisible issue. So join in for the 2nd annual #livingwithpain experiment!

What's the #livingwithpain experiment all about?
From November 6 - 12, you can join the experiment:
Clip a clothespin to your ear for 1 hour (or as long as you last!)
Take a selfie with the clothespin on your ear
Post your photo on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram using #livingwithpain to describe your experience

How can you join in?
During National Pain Awareness Week 2016, try the #livingwithpain experiment, then post your message and picture on social media. Or skip the clothespin and just share your story about what it’s like to live with chronic pain. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #livingwithpain to tag your post. Most importantly, encourage your friends and family to show their support by trying the experiment.
