"Healing Pain" delivers. I'm ordering copies for a family member who has MS; an attorney friend specializing in elder law, many of whose clients deal with chronic pain; and a friend studying for the Episcopal priesthood who has already served as a hospital chaplain, meeting many patients coping with pain. These friends don't have time or energy for reading books that come up empty. This one looked promising, based on the author's credentials as an oncologist specializing in pain management. It turns out that she's had cancer herself. On many levels, and in the most personal way, she knows what she's talking about. There are real answers here.

There comes a time in many people's lives where chronic pain happens for many reasons. It is depressing.You have pain, a lot. No one wants to listen to you talk about it.

Your complications from the chronic pain are very real, yet no one wants to discuss this with you. They are real. You must accept yourself where you are, do what you can to help yourself and be assertive, yet accept you may be a bit different than you were when well. You will win in the end. This book will help you.Help with the side effects of chronic pain
