Shipped as expected and delivered much earlier! This is a fabulous book; illustrations are a bit bizarre and unsettling, so I just ignore most of them. The graphs are very good. And the written content is wonderful. I am recovering from a destroyed nerve injury in my foot and now much better understand *why* there is tingling and sometimes pain. My first PT didn't understand nerve injury and aggravated it by being too aggressive. Now I have an exceptional PT who understands pain and who recommended this book. We are slowly and gradually raising the threshhold of activity, and I am thrilled to be making such great progress after being in an orthopedic boot for 5 months. I'm not any longer on pins and needles waiting in fear for some pain or tingling to happen unexpectedly. I just take it in stride and understand this is part of the recovery. I am so grateful for this approach to pain - have weaned off neurontin very quickly as well - another part of reprogramming your brain about pain.

Great book for explaining how we perceive pain to non scientific people. I haven't used it outside of school to be honest.

I can't recommend this book enough! I was suffering from what was becoming chronic pain (3+ months) plus recurring back pain for 11 years. At that time I was desperate; I never suffered for that long and so much. I researched the internet for an explanation, all I found were negative and pesimistic views on the subject, no solutions but surgeries or putting up with it. For someone with chronic pain who doesn't need surgery but still experiences constant pain not knowing the true reason, this book is invaluable and a must read. After searching the net for days on end, I came across Lorimer Moseley's explanation on youtube and went straight to buying this book. Not only it is very easy to understand, short and very well researched, but it gives you tools to deal with your problem. It's such a positive book and has helped me through very tough times. I had recurrences and I almost forgot everything I learned, but re-read it and remembered persistence, patience and a way out. If you suffer from chronic pain and don't understand what's happening to you, it's likely doctors haven't given you this information (probably they don't know it!) and you need to read this book. I repeat, it is scientific, it is very well referenced and researched but it is easy to understand and it will explain pain to you.

I like the way this information is presented so it's understandable to non-medical professionals. I bought this book at the suggestion of my physical therapist due to my chronic pain issues. I do wish it were more affordable so it could be shared with more people. IT's very expensive - it not for that, I would buy some additional copies for some family members and friends...I believe the methods suggested and explanations for pain are helping me to cope with my chronic pain. I hope to continue toimprove.

A single page in "Explain Pain" was enough to justify the price that I paid for the book. It told me that nerve damage in the back can cause swelling in the foot, and told me how it does it. When a nerve pinch sends pain signals up to the central nervous system, it also sends nerve impulses down to the terminal ends of the nerve fibers, where inflammatory chemicals are released, causing neurogenic inflammation.Two years ago, the piriformis muscle in my right buttock went into spasm to help stabilize my right sacroiliac joint. It pinched my sciatic nerve, which caused referred pain in my right leg below the knee. This is called Piriformis Syndrome. During the last two years, my right leg has also been swollen below the knee. Before I read "Explain Pain", I did not know that my edema and my referred pain had a single cause, but now I know that I can't get rid of the edema until I get rid of the nerve pinch.This was a great surprise for me, because I have never seen any indication in Piriformis Syndrome case histories that edema is an essential part of Piriformis Syndrome. However, if doctors do not know that edema and referred pain have the same cause, they will not report edema as part of a Piriformis Syndrome case history.

Great resource for pain management providers as well as patients. I do feel it is a little over priced, but very well written.

An incredibly up to date, informative and useful book. As a health professional and a chronic pain sufferer this aide with be used for myself and my clients. Written for the lay person as well as for health professionals of all areas dealing with pain issues; very understandable with excellent and effective management tool choices described and explained. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in pain! The only suggestion I have is that it could be available as an ebook.

I purchased this book on the recommendation of my physical therapist. It is an incredible book.It's written in such a way that you can tell the authors really want you to understand something they feel passionate about. It has just enough text to explain the main concepts behind pain, no superfluous text at all. It is not dry like a text book. I feel that any person with pain will find this book interesting enough to want to read it. I can't wait to reread it and explore all the suggested texts.Unlike some other reviewers, I absolutely love the artwork. There is one image of the pain sufferer being led on an endless path of worry and fear by pain, but branching off to better days when they find the knowledge to understand their condition. I feel like I am that person, and this book gave me that knowledge.Can't wait to see what lies ahead.

Understanding Pain by David Sheridan Butler & G. Lorimer MoseleyGot Pain?The silky-smooth writing of Understanding Pain delivers the promise of its title with cutting-edge neuroscience. There are no specific chemicals, nerves, or regions of the brain necessary for creating pain. Just as consciousness emerges from the network of trillions of neurons (each with thousands of connections) in your brain, so too, does the pain experience. It is all in your head! Even so, you're not nuts; all pain is real. Furthermore, an understanding of the "mechanics" of the pain experience, literally decreases the intensity of pain.Got pain? Read book!Doktor Nick

Before reading this book I knew a little about pain and how pain is sort of projected and a mental construct. This book really showed me so much more. I have a strong background in medicine and this was light but digestible and had enough relevant information.What surprised me about the book was the three major quality aspects: the writing, the artwork, and the physical printing. This is not a typical 6x9 paperback. The writing is exceptionally concise, but in a good way. It's just well thought it. The artwork seems to be all original artwork for the book, hand drawn page by page, by a serious artist. The book has a nice weight and feeling. This is definitely not something to buy as an ebook.

This book is an easy-to-read guide that shows you how to explain pain in ways your patient can understand. It is based on sound scientific findings and has great illustrations. I have used it with my patients with great success. I give it 5 stars, however, I think it is way too expensive at 77 dollars. It may be very well made, but it is only 130 pages long!
