Shop Ella Emhoff’s Big Pain Management List

Chronic pain can be isolating, as well as physically draining. But at least one in five adults in the US experience it — including Ella Emhoff, an artist, model, and fashion designer and the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris and daughter of US Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

In a recent Instagram Story, Emhoff shared that she experiences chronic back pain that sometimes interferes with her ability to create her knitted artwork, and asked her fellow “chronic pain people” for their pain management techniques. She got thousands of responses — and decided to share the wealth with the rest of us, via a Google Sheet that’s now pinned to her Instagram Highlights.

It’s the stuff dreams are made of: a huge list of products for chronic pain, including but not limited to chronic back pain, that’s already been vetted and vouched for by a real-life person. Of course, we should take these recs with a grain of salt — they’re coming from anonymous internet strangers, after all — and always check with your healthcare team before trying something new for a chronic pain condition. But if you’re as interested as we were, ahead, you can directly shop (some of) Emhoff’s big pain management list.
