About PainPal PainPal is founded and run by Esther Lurie,, a fellow, long-term, multi-condition chronic pain survivor with a Bachelor of Science degree and professional experience conducting thousands of one to sessions with those seeking to address various health matters and concerns, in addition to the many chronic pain survivors she's encountered over the years and has tried to help be it professionally or personally. Speaking now in firs person, I do indeed know firsthand the massive suffering that occurs with intractable pain and its vast impact on all aspects of life. This isn't a rags-to riches-I'm -cured-and-all-is-well, story, Rather, its a journey of struggle and hardship that persists. it' is real life without the pretty bows. What I offer is a compassionate, yet reality-based approach, a lot of years on this planet and plenty experience that foes with it. My approach incorporates both the larger picture and the ever-important minute detail that piece by piece forms the basis of both change and hope. Founded in February 2000, PAINPAL is a registered business in the State of New York via the County of Kings, Business # 023766. |
About This Site Thanks for visiting PainPal.com. Online since 2002, PainPal.com originally began as Pain-Pal.com for the first three years. The mission remains the same: to assist you and your loved ones in your efforts to effectively manage pain, reduce it's impact, promote understanding, foster openness, enhance your well-being, and help get you back on track so you can live as healthfully and peacefully as possible. Although there are no magical solutions to chronic pain, nor quick fixes for eliminating its impact, there's no limit to how far you might travel in your path toward health and wellness, cure or healing depending upon your perspective, effort, willingness, opportunity, resources, and hope - amongst a variety of other factors. There are many roads to relief, and infinite possibilities as to how you might get there. The choices remain with you. And so, whether your belief system is ultimately that of cure - as in Western medical philosophy, or healing - as in a more Eastern and holistic approach - the goal of PainPal.com is to empower and educate you about the day-to-day aspects of co-existing with chronic pain, as well as assist in getting you where you'd like to go by helping you target what you need and plotting a course to help you get there. Managing chronic pain is often very multi-dimensional, combining some of this and some of that, and some of many other things. And so, while one or two approaches on their own might not be as productive as desired, multiple approaches working together can be. Taken from there, infinite possibilities emerge - the sky's the limit...but the ground is where to begin. Always remember, that no matter the size, every step forward is an important one in your journey toward a better life. Small things learned and taken at face value, might seem of little consequence in context of the whole, but when seemingly small things learned combine, they stand to positively impact the larger picture and lead to improvement in overall life quality. And so as you browse this website and consider its offerings, please be sure to keep this in mind. Everything presented in these pages has its purpose...that is, to help you help yourself, or those you love. Best wishes to all of you in your journey to improve your life. Esther Lurie, Founder |
