This much-needed book explores the issues and consequences of
chronic pain in later life. Chronic pain often accompanies the
non-fatal health conditions experienced by older women, but much of
the professional literature virtually ignores older chronic pain
sufferers. Older Women With Chronic Pain begins to fill this void
by exploring chronic pain and its effects on older individuals.
Authors draw upon existing pain literature, their knowledge of
aging, and recognition of the health issues facing older women to
illuminate the particulars of chronic pain in later life in
relation to its etiology, assessment, consequences, and
management.Chronic pain is not and should not be treated as part of
the natural aging process. This book stresses the importance of
understanding the causes and consequences of living with chronic
pain in later life. Among the specific areas that chapters explore
are: physical and biomedical aspects of chronic pain in later life
the importance of using a comprehensive strategy for assessing
chronic pain in older women coping strategies used by older women
with chronic musculoskeletal pain issues associated with cancer

pain on the family relationships of older women nonpharmacologic
