This is a much needed resource for teens and young adults to get the information and help they need first hand in a clear, accessible, easy to understand format. Chronic pain is so isolating and confusing, and doctors can be dismissive, vague and blaming. This book explains what is happening and how to help resolve this difficult issue. The format is fun and inviting, while still addressing the complexity of chronic pain. A must read for all teens and young adults with chronic pain!

The authors take very difficult - to - understand concepts and explain them eloquently so a layman like myself can understand chronic pain. The tools laid out in this book are very helpful and are relatable to teens and young adults. I would 10/10 recommend!
Essential Resource - Myron Pulier
Chronic pain that has no apparent cause is poorly understood by most doctors. A simple prescription of this or that medicine, even strong narcotics, is no solution. The world's top experts in chronic pain have written a clear, practical how-to guide for the people who are best able to take charge and make things better: the patients themselves. There are science-grounded explanations and descriptions of specific ways for teens and young adults to get their lives back on track after years of struggle and setbacks.
