I'm always on the look out for books such as this one. My run of the mill arthritis is slowly destroying my life. As I get older the idea of just lying down and not moving sounds better every day. But this isn't realistic and there are things I want to do, or have to do. So any helpful books on pain- I'll grab them! Sometimes it's like grabbing at straws... Lots of good ideas in this book and useful info such as dealing with doctors (I sometimes think maybe I need older doctors, the young ones are clueless....) I understand the issue with opioids, I just feel for the folks who are truly in need of this painkiller and sympathize with the difficulties they are experiencing due to the epidemic of abusers. if you suffer from chronic pain, this book might be of help.

As someone who has lived with chronic pain for several years, it was good to read about someone who understood the mentality of living with physical pain and the distress it causes. I am hoping this book will help me become mentally stronger and in turn more physically able to do the activities I am wary of.

This is very detailed book on how to utilize resources and seek out the help of a doctor to manage chronic pain. It gives clear information on the opioid crisis in the United States today and how to find ways to cope and overcome the ailments that are impacting your quality of life. I found this book to be a very interesting read. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

This book contains a lot of solid, informative material. Most of it is written in a way that anyone could understand, though some parts were a bit more technical. Disorders such as migraines, arthritis, and back pain are addressed. They encourage the reader to find a local doctor, and they give tips on what and how to talk to your doctor.

The authors do a nice job of explaining pain and how it can take a toll on a person. They're very encouraging, as well. Traditional and nontraditional options are provided.

This would be a great resource for anyone dealing with chronic pain.
