Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Cool Alternature Therapies
You'd think the Mayo Clinic would be hardline Western medicine. But this book rocks. There are alternative treatments and everything.
Rating: - Managing Pain Before It Manages You
This is THE chronic pain management book according to my doctor, and I'm a believer. I lead a more active and productive life because of his work.

* Coping with overweight,
* Dealing with uncontrolled anger, ... Read More

There is no help offered for people with pain that is more than moderate in nature. Topics that should receive some real attention are skimmed over in a matter of a couple of pages ... Read More
Rating: - Dogeared My Copy
As stated in the credits on the first page, this book provides "reliable, practical information on managing chronic pain." What it doesn't say is just how invaluable this book can be for all of us who have suffered. Until I read this book, I had not realized that I had been living with pain since before entering grade school - and this book gave me the insight and tools to face it and deal with it constructively. I bought it at the recommendation of one of my physical therapists to help with my recently ... Read More
