You've missed work, lost sleep, and found yourself unable to complete even the simplest of tasks. In addition, your appetite has diminished and your relationships with family and friends have become strained. Living with pain can be quite debilitating, both physically and mentally.

"Pain should be treated as a disease, not a symptom."
Mark Pinkerton MD
