Millions of people suffer from debilitating chronic pain from
arthritis, fibromyalgia, low back pain, chronic headache syndromes,
neuropathies, or other painful conditions. People contending with
chronic pain often spend considerable time, energy, and money
searching for answers and visit multiple doctors, trying anything
to find relief. When the source of pain is unclear or difficult to
diagnose, their experiences are additionally frustrating,
exhausting, and depressing. This book offers a hands-on approach to
improving life with chronic pain, whatever the underlying cause. As
a sociologist, psychotherapist, and someone with firsthand
experience with chronic pain, the author understands the challenges
that accompany pain and has devised realistic strategies to fare
better. Paintracking provides a systematic method that empowers
individuals to navigate the otherwise overwhelming array of
treatment options and incorporate the effective ones into their
lives for continued, incremental progress. Its cornerstone is a
self-study tool that enables readers to improve. Readers are
instructed on how to track and interpret their experience, whether
using a pen and paper or the online tool offered as a companion to
the book. By cultivating awareness of how their body responds in
different situations and to different therapies, readers will
become capable self-advocates, able to make informed choices.
Written in clear, understandable prose and filled with sociological
insights, therapeutic lessons, practical tips, and empathy, this
book offers realistic hope to individuals who often feel hopeless
in the face of confusing, debilitating pain.
