Understanding Chronic Pain
A Doctor Talks To His Patients
Understanding Chronic Pain is a personal narrative, a record of my passage among victims of chronic pain and the discoveries that have come from those encounters. I write for physicians, nurses, therapists, and caregivers, but mostly, I write for you who suffer the disease.
J. Thomas John Jr., M.D.
"Understanding Chronic Pain is a superb book by a very gifted physician. Dr. Cochran's expertise has been invaluable to many long-suffering patients. His insights into chronic pain represent an important advance in the understanding of a very destructive illness."
