Publisher's Summary
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 audiobook aims to provide clear and reliable information about chronic pain, including "what" (definition), "how" (pathophysiology), and "why" (etiology). The authors expertly guide the listener through current approaches to diagnoses, including a review of diagnostic tests, as well as a comprehensive, integrated approach to chronic pain treatment. 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.

Is your chronic pain new to you? Does your doctor listen to you? Are you unfamiliar with Google? Then this book may be for you.
Otherwise, it is pablem.
An entry-level pandering of well-meaning doctors who don’t know what it means to be a chronic pain patient. And certainly don’t know what it’s like to be dismissed repeatedly by their doctors while seeking help for their pain. They seem to think communication with doctors is a smooth and easy process, and completely ignore the miscommunications that occur on both sides. Ignoring that is just one failure of this book.
Another is the tone-deaf use of non-chronic pain examples. This book is about chronic pain, which the describe very early book as pain that lasts over three months. Then later in the book, they use pain examples of acute pain as if those are the same. Anyone suffering from chronic pain is going to read those examples and feel dismissed by them. The pain of weeks or months can hardly be compared to that of years. It is sad that they would think so.
The information is also a cumulation of all the pamphlets that we all receive - Diet, exercise, etc, etc. with very little nuance. All presented in a patronizing manner.
They blame the exacerbation of the chronic pain on the patient and their lack of exercise.
There is some interesting information on the psychosocial aspects of pain, but not enough.
