Beyond the actual hurting, the worst thing about chronic pain is the complete inability of spouses, family, friends and care providers to commiserate and empathize with the true ghastliness of the diagnosis. Unless they've lived it, they just don't get it. I, the author of this book, have lived with chronic pain for over a decade. I've had four spine surgeries and tried every conceivable medication and procedure looking for relief. I get it. I know chronic pain, and write from this knowing perspective. The second worst thing (again, besides the hurting) is the total debacle patients encounter from the medical community treating their pain. If you can get beyond the skepticism and drug-seeking presumption, you'll slam into a wall of incorrect diagnosis and ineffective treatments. An M.D. who specialized in Anesthesiology, I trained and worked in chronic pain clinics. I've prescribed Neurontin, Oxycontin and Lyrica. I've performed facet injections, epidural steroid shots and dealt with intrathecal pumps and spinal cord stimulators. I know the approach and strategy chronic pain clinics use to treat you, and include this behind-the-scene thinking to educate you and better equip you as you move along the treatment regimen of pill, procedure and surgery.I unite these two rare perspectives into this missing manual to fill a void: a book on pain, by a pain doctor, still in pain. I mix anecdotes with proven medical evidence in plain English. And I devote five chapters to Tue philosophical side of pain, and outline my roadmap to a happy ending: acceptance of pain. I remain in pain, but no longer suffer from pain. And I devote five chapters to the philosophical side of pain, and outline my roadmap to a happy ending: acceptance of pain.
