The Pain Chronicles

Posted by admin on August 30, 2010

This is a new book that is just out on the experience of chronic pain (and chronic pain treatment world) written from the lay perspective. I found the book very accurate and consistent with my experience on the other side of the equation (a provider). I think that this will be a book that I recommend to patients as well as providers to bring some perspective to the sometimes difficult relationships between chronic pain patients and their providers.

There is also a great interview with the author here at Salon.
