    For more Chronic Pain groups throughout the U.S., check FindGroupTherapy.Com. The site is a nationwide directory, listing Therapy Groups on most mental health topics, including Chronic Pain.

    Do you know of any pain support groups in Manhattan? I feel very isolated, and I know it would help to meetother people to socialize, to be helpful, to learn whatever I can about how to cope with being less active which for me is the most difficult.

    Mary, it’s great that you’re open to trying a group. I don’t know any in NY offhand. I’d suggest 1) asking your pain doctor or someone on your pain management team, 2) looking at the websites of national pain organizations (there are links to these on my website), or 3) a comment above yours listed a website that tracks groups. Good luck!
