Welcome!

Thank you SO much for participating in this short survey. Your answers will be used to help me with a small project I am working on called Explain Your Pain. In this project I hope to help people better explain their pain to the people around them. 

By filling out this survey you are giving me permission to anonymously use your answers in my project. This survey is completely anonymous, and I will not know the identity of anyone who answers the questions. Therefore, your name would not be included, but I may anonymously quote the information that you share. 

This survey contains five questions. Feel free to fill as few or as many out as you like. Feel free to keep it brief or go into as much detail as you want. Thanks!!!
