Chapter 7 -- about "Controlling Pain" -- contains the BEST information I have found on the Internet. You will find information about the following topics related to controlling pain: "Types of pain -- Choosing the right pain medicine -- Different ways to take pain medicine -- Doses of pain medicine -- A few rules about pain medicine -- How often to take pain medicine -- Fear of addiction -- Side effects of pain medication -- More medications that relieve pain"

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!
