Most people who suffer from chronic pain assume it’s something they must simply learn to live with, but this is just not true. Most pain can be managed or greatly reduced with proper pain management, but the reality is that most pain goes untreated, under-treated, or improperly treated. With proper management, the overall health, well-being, and quality of life of millions of Americans can be improved. Understanding Pain is an essential resource for those who experience the problem and want to better understand the pain they live with each day. Written in layman’s terms, this detailed guide explains how pain is perceived; helps patients evaluate and organize information about their symptoms; explores alternative, pharmacological, and invasive treatments; and much more. The book helps patients understand the multifaceted nature of pain and the range of treatment options available, enabling them to communicate more effectively with doctors and other healthcare providers.
