The Pain Book: Finding hope when it hurts provides an up-to-date overview of how pain works and the best pain treatments now available.

Authors Professor Philip Siddall, Rebecca McCabe and Dr Robin Murray have devoted much of their lives to working with people in pain and are lead clinicians in the HammondCare Pain Management Service at Greenwich Hospital.

The Pain Book helps people face pain by using plain language to explain the source and types of pain, how the body and mind respond and the kinds of treatments available. It also helps people find hope by giving practical steps to reduce pain and address the physical, psychological and spiritual impact of pain – complete with illustrations, techniques and exercises.

'I don't think you need to have pain of any kind to get something from this book. The reality is, though, most of us are in pain... Whatever your experience, this book outlines the ideas and strategies that are extremely useful when it comes to just living your life.' Judith Lucy - foreword

'The Pain Book not only provides practical pathways for taking control of pain, but also bravely and respectfully speaks of the deeper and transformative journey that many people in pain travel.' Coralie Wales PhD, Chronic Pain Australia

'The Pain Book can be your lifeline to recovery.' Elizabeth Carrigan, Australian Pain Management Association.

This was used in a Chronic Pain Clinic.

I am glad first I bought mine in a kindle format and paid $11 for it others had to pay $20 for the paperback book. We were required to buy the book. We never really used the book. and in reading it the personal stories, some very heart breaking and what they went through, but very little useful information to help with chronic pain. I would not recommend this book to others there are better books out there that help with ways to deal with chronic pain and help blend the use of alternative methods to help deal with pain along with any medicines that your doctors has recommended for you.

I suppose the simplistic views, I was looking for something new to actually help, not the same old stuff over again. Disappointed with this book.

This book brings everything together for those searching for answers. The truth is there is no one answer. It is simply written and easily understood. Onwards and upwards for me.

Examining chronic pain from three perspectives

Reviewed in the United States on 21 September 2013

Verified Purchase

Very important subject matter presented clearly and within a context that identifies the reality the reader may be experiencing . The various case studies and reflections of people on their experience helped the reader identify with aspects that were appropriate for their own situation .
The combination of the scientific, medical and spiritual dimensions of responding to chronic pain and the value of hope in living positively with such pain. It also contains a series of practical physiotherapy exercises that could assist the reader.
