Mayo Clinic Guide to Pain Relief

Provides a fairly comprehensive outline of the issues involved when dealing with chronic pain written easy-to-comprehend language and large print. The simple nature of the explanations of the full chronic pain experience are included—from the pain itself to different treatments and related issues, such as specific suggestions for self-care (e.g., weight loss, quit smoking, setting goals, tracking pain), intimacy and depression. This guide could also be a helpful tool for parents to use in explaining these issues to their children (middle-school age and older).
