Pain: The Fifth Vital Sign : The Science and Culture of Why We Hurt

Rating:
Summary: An encouraging, comforting sort of book
Review: I read this book and felt so encouraged. I have suffered with debilitating chronic pain for more than 4 years. Marni Jackson knows what those of us who suffer are going through. This book is a real page-turner for those interested in this ambiguous subject. Pain is such a vague, subjective experience and the author points this out through stories and anecdotes. Her witticisms and practical insights are true gems. I felt less alone in the world of chronic pain after reading this book. If you need a little encouragement, or know someone who does, please read this book. It is well worth the investment!
