Synopsis
'Manage Your Pain' is for anyone who suffers from chronic pain. One in ten people suffer from some form of persisting pain and in the majority of cases there is no hope of a total cure and drugs are not always the answer. However, it is possible to adapt your life so that persistant pain becomes manageable. Does pain interfere with your sleep, work or social life? Do you ever need to rest during the day because of pain? Are you concerned that your doctor has missed something? Have you ever thought: "I can't go on"? If you answer "yes" to any of these questions then 'Manage Your Pain' will help to improve your life. Drawing on the latest research and the authors' extensive medical experience 'Manage Your Pain' explains the practical and positive ways in which you can adapt to chronic pain and manage it so that you can again lead your life. Understanding the causes of pain and understanding it better will help you and your family to minimise the impact it has on your life. This book can help you take the first steps on the path towards recovery from pain.

Synopsis
If you have chronic pain and you are wondering if this book, as reviewed on ABC TV's Catalyst program, could be helpful to you, try answering the following questions. Over the last month or so how often have you: 1. Used pain killers to do something you know will stir up your pain? 2. Done an activity until it is finished (regardless of pain) then rested? 3. Found that pain is interfering with your sleep, work, sport and social activities? 4. Had one or more long rest periods during the day due to pain? 5. Had upsetting thoughts when your pain gets worse (like "I can't go on"; "it's killing me")? 6. Been concerned that your doctors have missed something? 7. Been told to 'live with the pain' but not shown how to do it? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then Manage Your Pain will help to improve your life. In Manage Your Pain the authors have drawn on the latest scientific research and their extensive clinical experience to show you how to live with pain. Manage Your Pain will help you and your family to gain a better understanding of your pain and minimise the impact it has on your life. Manage Your Pain is a self-help book, but it can be used as part of a program worked out with your doctor, clinical psychologist and/or therapist.
