Pain Relief Shouldn't Be A Crime
We speak the truth the media ignores; pain patients are being abandoned, forced off opioids, and ignored. We provide the education, resources, and community they need to fight back, and we support the providers willing to stand with them.
What We Do:
Start Here – You’re Not Alone
If you’ve just been cut off from pain medication, denied care, or abandoned by your provider, you’re not alone. We will help you understand why this is happening, what your rights are, and what you can do right now to protect yourself & fight back.

You have a huge heart and THANK YOU so much for being the voice!!!!!Posted on Elizabeth OgdenDecember 2, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am currently affected by gabapentin. It was described it for leg pain for many years. It does not work! Yet that is all the doctors will prescribe for me! Please help mePosted on Ron HessDecember 2, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These ladies know what they're talking about & are educating others. I think it's GREAT. ✌️💜😎Posted on Samantha PeloquinSeptember 13, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a lifelong student of history, I’ve learned of the deadly knock-on effects of prohibition (see: the Iron Law of Prohibition) and have thus long believed it should not be perpetuated. Treating people like adults is the safest option for everyone in the long run. Before becoming injured, I didn’t truly understand the dynamics at play since the asinine 2016 guidelines. People with intractable pain are ignored, shamed and stigmatized enough. The voices in these reviews ring out: Thank you for standing up for us in this cruel and callous world, where experimental and injurious medical treatments have replaced evidence-based care.Posted on Ali KatSeptember 2, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I have severe arthritis from my neck down. Some days can barely get out of bed. I am also a nurse who has seen first hand the destruction of lives due to withholding pain medications. I have also lived through it personally. I'm only 65 years old. I do not want to live the remainder of my life in severe pain in a nursing home when I could be serving my community by my working as a nurse instead of tying up another nurses' talents by being a patient. I can work IF I had pain medications. Some of us actually NEED pain medications to be able to function and give back to our communities (that's you by the way).Posted on Tanya RileyJuly 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My life ruined from.bad drugsPosted on nicole marieJune 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finally, someone who is willing to stand up to the filthy medical industry and fight with and for people with chronic pain who have been treated like garbage by the medical mafia. After being forced to taper off my pain meds in 2019, along with every other pain patient in NY, I finally found a pain management clinic, but was duped into thinking that my ONLY option for my lifelong, extremely debilitating and intractable pain was a pain pump filled with fentanyl. That pain pump trial injured me, and I was further injured by the steroid epidural injection, and then refused pain management for the pain they caused me. My life is forever altered in the worst way because of what they put me through. All I want is compassionate and adequate pain relief, and I finally have hope that I will find that, thanks to the Doctor Patient Forum. God Bless those who are willing to help those of us who deserve to have our very real pain treated and managed!🙏🏼♥️
What the Data Really Shows
Clear, evidence-based facts that challenge the dominant narrative about opioids, addiction, & pain care.











Media & Recognition
We understand the devastating impact that forced medication tapering, treatment termination, and stigma can have on individuals living with chronic pain. With millions of people across the U.S. suffering in silence, our work focuses on giving patients a voice and providing the resources and support necessary for accessing appropriate pain relief.
We believe in patient-centered care, transparency, and ethical practices. That’s why we partner with healthcare providers to advocate for better policies and push for reforms that protect the rights of pain patients while ensuring safe and responsible prescribing practices.
