| Publisher Description: Pain management is becoming an important and growing medical spe-cialty. There is an attitude among individuals suffering from chronic pain that they are no longer willing to suffer pain in silence. Dramatic changes have been made with respect to the understanding of the anatomy any physiology of many painful entities over the past two decades. New drugs and other modalities are being introduced with increasing frequency. A pain patient needs to partner with his or her doctor. The reason for this book is to give a pain patient the basic information necessary to rationally discuss his or her pain with the treating physician. Many primary care physicians have no or minimal pain training. This pocket-sized book will enable a patient to derive basic pain management knowledge that may be helpful when he or she communicates with their pain management physician. |
