5 Series Editor s Introduction They are and suffer, that is all they do W. H. Auden 1 Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it. Helen Keller 2 When patients come to us with their pain they present us with a marvelous opportunity the chance to understand them, to understand how their pain is affecting their lives, the challenge of discovering what is causing their pain, and finally the opportunity to prescribe medications and lifestyle changes to help them gain relief from their pain. Chronic Pain: A Primary Care Guide to Practical Management is an important book, offering concrete evidence-based approaches to diagnose and treat myriad causes of chronic pain that we as primary care physicians see in our office every day. It is an ambitious book, covering this large topic in only slightly more than 300 pages. In doing so, the author understands that for this book to be useful to primary care physicians, who are busy and have little time to concern themselves with unnecessary information, it must be practical, clear, evidence-based, and succinct. Chronic Pain: A Primary Care Guide to Practical Management approaches the discussion of pain management as primary care clinicians approach their patients, first trying to determine with as much clarity as possible the etiology of a patient s pain; then discussing the specific treatments and general treatments of the condition that has been diagnosed as well as the pain it causes. All this occurs against a backdrop of general issues relevant to all pain management. Most of the common conditions that lead patients to come into our offices with a pain as their chief complaint are covered. The book presents clear recommendations for treatment and supports those recommendations with useful references. Chronic Pain: A Primary Care 1 From Auden, W. H. "Surgical Ward."

6 vi Series Editor s Introduction Guide to Practical Management is also filled with excellent easy-to-understand figures, tables, and algorithms. The Current Clinical Practice Series, conceived by a number of editors at Humana Press, has as its mission to create high-quality, evidence-based books for primary care clinicians, with an emphasis on relevance, and providing practical approaches to common problems. The books in the Current Clinical Practice Series can be used to gain an updated understanding of common problems and/or can be placed on office shelves and in PDAs to serve as important references when questions come up during the course of patient care. Chronic Pain: A Primary Care Guide to Practical Management fulfills the mission of this series it is practical, useful, and relevant. There is no higher compliment for any book of medicine.

7 Preface Thoughts of the busy clinician who picks up the chart for a new visit for a patient with a chief complaint of chronic pain: I m already running behind today. Hope the next patient has a straightforward problem....chronic low back pain, failed surgery, out of work for the last 6 months, requesting signature on a disability form, refill of pain medications, and a sleeping pill, refuses to see a psychologist because it s real pain. How will I ever handle this assessment during a short office visit? These thoughts have been repeated in some form by most clinicians, easily overwhelmed with the typically complex stories of patients with chronic pain. When confronted with pain patients, it is important to remember that there are three common but false myths about chronic pain: 1. Patients with chronic pain are easy to manage. 2. Chronic pain is easily relieved with just a pill. 3. As pain improves, associated problems (e.g., depression, disability, relationship issues) will spontaneously resolve. Patients with chronic pain present a unique set of challenges to the primary care physician, who must first recognize and accept the difficult and complex constellation of problems often encountered by these patients. The clinical management of chronic pain is frequently requested by patients seeing primary care physicians, although most medical schools provide little background for dealing with these often complex patients. Patients with chronic pain often report a variety of complaints, including pain, sleep abnormalities, mood disturbance, and interference with personal, social, and work relationships. Lack of easily identified pathology in patients who report disabling symptoms may result in conflicts between patients and their treating clinicians. In addition, managing chronic pain generally requires assessment and treatment of pain, associated symptoms, and disability. Developing pain management skills requires listening to patients stories, becoming invested in their lives, and following the results of prescribed therapy over ensuing months and years. The information and recommendations provided in this book are the result of many instructive hours of listening to patients describe their own pain experiences, both the nociceptive symp- vii
