Aidan is the Founder of Together Through Pain. She was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) after a sports injury in her teens turned into something much bigger than anyone expected. Since then, she has undergone 11 surgeries, some related and others not, including two spinal cord stimulator implants. She continues to navigate life with a body that doesn’t always cooperate.
Living with chronic pain from a young age shaped not only how Aidan sees the world, but how she connects with others who feel isolated, misunderstood, or overlooked by the healthcare system.
Aidan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a certificate in Health Sciences. She combines personal insight with academic knowledge to create a space that is real, honest, and grounded in empathy. Her goal is simple: to make sure no one has to go through this alone.

We centre real stories and lived experience as a foundation for connection and awareness.
Together Through Pain is a digital advocacy and storytelling platform rooted in lived experience. Connection does not rely on scheduled participation or structured meetings, but instead happens through ongoing, accessible, and low-pressure engagement.
We share and amplify lived experience through personal stories, reflections, and community-submitted narratives that highlight what life with chronic pain, chronic illness, and disability can look like.
We engage in conversations around chronic illness, disability, and healthcare through awareness content, advocacy-based discussions, and educational posts that challenge stigma and misunderstanding.
Individuals can contribute through written submissions, shared experiences, or reflections that help build visibility and representation for those often unheard.
Connection happens through ongoing interaction on social platforms, where stories, conversations, and awareness content create an accessible space for participation without pressure or expectation.
