Description

Chronic pain affects 100 million American adults, yet it receives less attention than the misuse of pain medications. This is an ethical failure, as inadequate pain management can be tantamount to torture. Chronic pain not only undermines the body and mind but also increases the risk of suicide. Author Judy Foreman explores the chronic-pain crisis in her book, A Nation in Pain, drawing on both personal experience and extensive research. She examines recent scientific discoveries, including genetic susceptibility to pain, gender disparities in pain conditions and treatments, and the role of exercise in managing pain. Foreman also assesses the effectiveness of alternative remedies, such as acupuncture and massage. Foreman's book presents a comprehensive account of chronic pain, from neurobiology to public policy, offering practical solutions that are within our grasp today.
