Book Description

The New Harbinger Ten Simple Solutions Series May 1, 2007

Get Chronic Pain Under Control

Have you tried a number of approaches to manage chronic pain without much relief? The discouraging cycle of hope followed by frustration and continued pain can be as damaging to your quality of life as pain itself. To address this problem, the most current approaches to pain management advocate living well despite pain. They encourage pain sufferers to set aside their struggle with pain and learn the skills they need to stay engaged with life. Distilled from the very best of these techniques, 10 Simple Solutions to Chronic Pain offers you ten simple, effective solutions for thriving with chronic pain.

First, you'll get a quick introduction to the physiology of pain. Then it's down to the business of improving your quality of life: You'll learn tips for getting better sleep, ways to build a strong support system, and techniques for overcoming fear, anxiety, and depression. You'll discover better ways to communicate with doctors about your problems and find out which treatment options are likely to do you the most good. With the advice in this book, you can move from a debilitating cycle of pain to a full and rewarding life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pain no longer controls my life!, July 4, 2007
This review is from: 10 Simple Solutions to Chronic Pain: How to Stop Pain from Controlling Your Life (The New Harbinger Ten Simple Solutions Series) (Paperback)
I have suffered from back pain for the past 4 years after being injured in a car accident. I have tried everything from pain meds to acupuncture, even hypnosis. My doctor recommended this book and it really helped. If you follow the advice on a daily basis, you learn to control your pain-it no longer controls you. I'm not letting my back pain interfere with the quality of the rest of my life!

5.0 out of 5 stars A step-by-step demystification process of pain and one's options for dealing with it, January 6, 2008
This review is from: 10 Simple Solutions to Chronic Pain: How to Stop Pain from Controlling Your Life (The New Harbinger Ten Simple Solutions Series) (Paperback)
Behavioral medicine expert Blake H. Tearnan, Ph.D. presents 10 Simple Solutions to Chronic Pain: How To Stop Pain from Controlling Your Life, a straightforward guide to the most effective pain management techniques. 10 Simple Solutions to Chronic Pain does not deny the value or unilaterally condemn the use of painkiller drugs, but rather teaches the reader alternative methods that can be used in conjunction with medication, or by themselves. Chapters discuss better ways to communicate with doctors and learn which treatment options are most likely to prove beneficial, enhancing emotional well-being, improving one's sleep, the option of biomedical treatments, changing one's nonproductive beliefs about pain through personal experimentation, and much more. A step-by-step demystification process of pain and one's options for dealing with it, highly recommended.
