Internationally-recognized pain expert Don Goldenberg helps readers
better understand the intricacies of chronic pain through the lens
of personal stories, including his own. One out of three Americans
lives with chronic pain. Pain is the number one reason we seek
medical care and accounts for 40% of doctor visits. Chronic pain is
the most common cause of work loss world-wide. The yearly cost of
chronic pain in the United States is between $560-$630 billion,
higher than that of heart disease, diabetes and cancer combined.
Despite this, physicians and the public are woefully ill-informed
about chronic pain. The litany of self-help books available to the
public are largely misleading, quick-fix, junk-science. Although
there is a major push to better inform primary health-care
providers on chronic pain, they have been provided no authoritative
treatment of the subject. The Pain Epidemic provides the latest
medical information and pathways to better understanding and
treatment of chronic pain. Dr. Don Goldenberg, an internationally
known expert on pain, here discusses such hot topics as the opioid
epidemic, mind/body interactions in chronic pain, and gender bias,
as well as the role of cannabis and new potential pain treatment.
Interested readers will come away with not only a better
understanding of the pain epidemic but of pain itself.
