In other cases, pain can significantly interfere with the ability to function in daily life on many levels.

This factsheet covers pain associated with the following conditions: spinal cord injury, limb loss, cerebral palsy, fibromyalgia, Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and post-polio syndrome.

While finding out that a recreational hotspot is not accessible and doing nothing about it is a daily event for some people, others are taking the matter into their own hands to become their own advocates, to fight for what is legally theirs, and to educate a public that often turns away from the civil rights movement of the disability community.
