How to find free health/medical care in your area
If you live in the United States and can’t afford medical care, there may be free or low-cost options for you, depending on where you live. Living with chronic pain is difficult enough - but not being able to afford the care just makes it that much worse.
I found this information at the Reflex Dystrophy Syndrome Association Website:
The National Association of Free Clinics
The Remote Area Medical® (RAM) Volunteer Corps
Searching for a pain specialist or pain clinic in your area?
To find an organization or regional association in your state, go to Reflex Dystrophy Syndrome Syndrome Association.

Please add to our list so we can make it as comprehensive as possible. If I get enough additions, I’ll make a separate post to make them all available in an easily laid out format. One reader already added an idea in the comment section. You are all such a wonderful resource so if we work together, we could be an amazing force.

Awesome! Thanks for the research! There are so many people out there without healthcare coverage, or pharmacy coverage - they need to know where to go to get some help. This will really help them know where to turn.
I know one of my favs. for pharmacy discounts is http://www.pparx.org (I think it’s just for the US)
Wonderful info!
Thanks!
