Very good book for the chronic pain practitioner, June 27, 2010
By otterlynn (Ypsi MI)

I am a Pain Management Nurse. I found this book to be a very good resource for basic information and for use in preparing presentations on chronic pain. Some of the info is a bit dated, but all in all, I would recommend this book.
