Navigating Life with Chronic Pain provides accessible,
comprehensive, and up-to-date information about the challenges
patients, family, and caregivers face when confronted by chronic
pain. No two pain experiences are the same, so your chronic pain
depends on where you have pain, how long you have experienced pain,
and how the pain symptoms developed. Everyone needs a customized
approach because pain symptoms, other medical conditions, past pain
experiences, beliefs about pain, environment, ability to cope with
the pain, and financial and social support (like family, friends,
and caregivers) are different for every person. This book aims to
provide clear and reliable information about chronic pain,
including "what" (definition), "how" (pathophysiology), and "why"
(etiology). The authors expertly guide the reader through current
approaches to diagnoses, including a review of diagnostic tests, as
well as a comprehensive, integrated approach to chronic pain
treatment. They demystify the pain evaluation and explain why pain
professionals might ask you for detailed and seemingly personal
information. Through the use of patient stories, you get real-world
experiences and advice on navigating the day-to-day challenges of
chronic pain. You will learn how to take control of your chronic
pain using a variety of tools, like behavioral, exercise and
nutritional approaches, medications, alternative treatments (yoga
and tai chi), and injections or surgery.
