Manage Your Pain – self-help book
Practical and Positive Ways of Adapting to Chronic Pain: A/ Prof Michael Nicholas, Dr Allan Molloy, Lois Tonkin and Lee Beeston - AUS$24.95 rrp
“The sense of defeat that severe pain induces closes the shutters on life and the future. It dissolves initiative. This book provides clues as to how that defeat, and pain itself, can be managed, beginning where you are and how you are. It provides a map to guide your self start on the tough road of recovery from pain.”
Professor Stephen Leeder
Dean, Faculty of Medicine
University of Sydney
“For many patients with chronic ongoing pain, there are not specific treatments for an underlying cause and sadly at present there are no really effective treatments for the pain. . . this book provides a real hope of improvement. In my more than 30 years in this field, I can state quite unequivocally that one of the biggest improvements in the well being of patients with chronic pain has resulted from the use of the methods described in this book.”
