Pain is Not a Life Sentence: A Guide to Understanding and Eliminating Chronic Muscle, Joint, and Nerve Pain

Summary

The surgeon thinks your problem needs surgery, the nutritionist thinks it is your diet, the chiropractor thinks it is coming from the neck, the physiotherapist thinks you need to stretch more or do more squats, the MD just prescribes you a lifetime’s worth of pills, etc. You follow blindly because you don’t know any better. No one has properly explained your condition and all of your options, assuming they have the right diagnosis. This book aims to right this wrong.

For practical purposes, this book is focused on the most common neuromusculoskeletal chronic pain conditions: conditions having a joint, tendon, ligament, or muscular component to them. This book is divided into three parts. The first is an introduction to what pain is and how pain works along with explanations of common factors in most musculoskeletal chronic pain conditions. The second section contains lists: healthcare professionals, treatments, common drugs, etc. The third section goes through the body region-by-region.

Even if this book doesn’t solve your problems, I have no doubt it will allow you to understand more about your body and may allow you to help the ones you love minimize their pain.
