<p>As the title strong states: "Validation" is something many who suffer with chronic pain often don't get -- but need. People are tired of hearing that their pain might be "just in your head." For generations, those of us who deal with unrelenting pain on a daily basis have been glossed over, ignored, or flat misdiagnosed. Now a team of doctors has come along with a book that speaks directly to the individual whose pain dominates their lives. Here, in an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand format, are tried-and-true ways to get the attention you deserve for debilitating pain. Validate Your Pain! works with the reader and provides direction on how to take control of your own health care destiny, how to ask the right questions, and how to know when you are being ignored or unheard. Board certified in pain medicine and supported by decades of work with chronic pain patients, Drs. Chino and Davis bring their vast experience and concern to the pages of this eye-opening book. Suffer no more in silence. Understand the role physicians and insurance companies play in your treatment. Get the truth about pain medications and the unsubstantiated fear of addiction so many physicians have. Get the. information your need to maneuver through the healthcare minefields-- and get the help you deserve.</p>

<p>Chronic pain is the number one complaint heard by physicians across our nation. From low back to the pain of cancer, from the highly publicized fibromyalgia to chronic fatique syndrome, and from the common headache to bursitis...pain is something all Americans can relate to. However, in the highly regulated world of healthcare, are American's getting their collective monies worth of attention and care for their pain complaints. The authors feel the answer is generally, NO. How many of us have said, Nobody takes my pain seriously, or They say I shouldn't be hurting and that it's all in my head. How often are patients sent off to see psychologists or psychiatrists when physicians hit the wall and are unable to treat a patient's pain? What the authors want you to know is that there is a dirty little secret inside the healthcare system that, through ignorance, arrogance, and greed, perpetrates tremendous injustice upon individuals suffering with chronic pain. And, like the dirtly little secret, some doctors and insurance companies work hard to sweep patients with chornic pain under the rug. The problem has nothing to do with the latest approaches to diagnosis and treatment. It has nothing to do with discovering a way to ease human suffering and restore quality of life. Modern medicine already knows how to do that. Rather it has to do with something far more basic: compassion and the true desire to help. There are forces at work which, under the guise of healthcare, actively undermine efforts to help people with pain. Validate Your Pain exposes those secrets and arms the reader with information needed to maneuver through the healthcare minefields -- so they can get the help they deserve.</p>
