Get Back to the Business of Living in Spite of Chronic Pain
Using the same Medtronic Advanced Pain Therapy as actor Jerry Lewis, award-winning author Jude Willhoff admits the Medtronic technology has saved her life. “Because of constant excruciating pain, without intervention from a pain management program and Medtronic Advanced Pain Therapy, I would have ended my life.” Living on a daily basis with Arachnoiditis and chronic pain, she has written Living Well With Chronic Pain to show those diagnosed that they are not alone and the feelings they are experiencing are normal. Families are made aware there is hope and help for those suffering with this unbearable condition.
Pain is recognized as a major US public health problem. Chronic pain disables more people than cancer or heart disease. Various studies estimate that chronic pain affects as many as 86 million people. Statistics show one out of three people will experience chronic pain in their lifetime. Many who have been diagnosed with a life sentence of pain have committed suicide because they didn’t know where to go for help. The collateral damage to patients and loved ones is devastating, but can be diminished.
From her firsthand perspective, Living Well with Chronic Pain is written in easy to read layman’s terms. This book takes a no-nonsense approach that can be understood by chronic pain patients, families, friends and professionals alike. It is a practical guide describing positive lifestyle changes they can make to get control of the pain and advanced medical treatments that are available to help them get their life back. Reader feedback has been exciting because pain sufferers are getting the help they need and are writing to thank Jude for sharing this latest news they can use.
