porgee Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I don't know why I get call for VA studies for pain help but always get ask to participate in them. Telephone Coaching Program. You get paid for completing 3 surveys over 6 months. Its for hip, knee, and back pain. They will have someone for your coach to help you walk and move more and how to pace yourself. The main thing I see is you have to get out and walk. Move more easily,reduce your pain, feel more energetic, improve your mood, and finally gain muscle strength. So I guess I will try it out. Forgot they will give you a pedometer to track your steps. All through telephone calls. I know walking helps with pain that's how I make it through the pain walking or doing something helps. Its in the works in Atlanta. Anyone else receive this yet? broncovet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted March 2, 2018 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 2, 2018 Sounds promising. Have not received any info about it yet. It could be a local study though. I don't know if they will give you the same pedometer that the physical therapy department gave me, but they kept failing. I just bought myself a FitBit wristband and had no problems yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 porgee Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 This program the letter come from Minneapolis VA Health care it all about living with pain and dealing with it and live a good life with it. By now you know pain will be there always if chronic why worry about it? They think I could be a coach on the team so I will give it a try. They need 500 people in ATL AREA..# 877-467-5079 GIVE THEM A CALL if you want help if not don't bother with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
