The Great Courses– The Mayo Clinic Guide to Pain Relief– Thursday at 10am, begins May 4, 2017

If your life or the life of someone you love has been hijacked by pain, you’re not alone. Pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. In fact, one out of every three U.S. adults lives with chronic pain triggered by arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, disc problems, fibromyalgia, headaches, sciatica, or other causes. That’s why the experts at Mayo Clinic are working with The Great Courses to craft this research-based guide to coping with chronic pain, giving you access to the same knowledge that has made Mayo Clinic’s highly successful pain management programs so effective.

We will cover the first 6 lectures– each lecture is 30 minutes:

1. Why Pain Matters

2. What is Pain?

3. Common Causes of Chronic Pain

4. Medication for Chronic Pain: Why and Why Not

5. How Exercise Helps with Chronic Pain

6. Manage Your Stress to Manage Your Pain
