This book is a must have for patients who suffer with chronic pain. It could save your life." Dr. Michael W. Brown, Neurosurgeon "Chronic pain may persist for weeks, months or years. Physical, psychological, and emotional stress may worsen chronic pain. By reading this book, the patient will know the emotions they are feeling are normal and that there is help." Dr. Patrick Higgins "Many excellent books have been written on the devastating, life-changing effects of chronic pain. Such books are written by those of us who work with people in constant pain and represent an 'outsiders' view of a person who actually has pain that does not go away. Ms. Willhoff has written an excellent 'insiders' account of her own chronic pain experience from injury through recovery. This book will save sufferers a great deal of time on their own journey toward recovery." Dr. Kevin C. Murphy, Ph.D.
