“Amy Orr has written a clear and persuasive primer on what it means to live with chronic pain. With a light, breezy style, she gives realistic advice on how to manage pain. No quack cures here; no shady fixes. Instead, you’ll find useful tips on everything from how to talk to your doctor to knowing when to be weird (you’ll understand when you read the book!). Relevant not only for people living with chronic pain, but also for those whose loved ones live in pain.”

“In Taming Chronic Pain, Amy Orr sets out to offer guidance and support to chronic pain patients in virtually every aspect of their lives, and she succeeds in her mission masterfully. As she writes: ‘You are not your body but you are in your body, so it’s your job to take care of it.’ Orr helps every patient to do exactly that—sensibly, purposefully, and with optimism and good humor. She is frank in offering her advice or expertise, but without being preachy or didactic. Readers will come away feeling they have found a friend and valued advisor. I highly recommend Taming Chronic Pain and know that pain patients will benefit from reading it in many, many ways in their present and into their future.”
