This 10-lesson self-management program offers strategies for coping with chronic pain. Despite recent advances in the study of pain, there is still no medical treatment, alternative therapy, or herbal concoction that eliminates all pain for all people all of the time. In this book, you will learn to make adjustments to your daily patterns—from your activity choices to your sleep, eating, interactions with others, and even your thoughts—so you can take control of your life and your pain.
