De: Col (Ret) D. Strand

Narrado por: Gerhard Weigelt

Nobody should have to live in chronic pain—including you! Don’t let another minute of your life be consumed by physical and mental suffering. Discover how to transform your pain today!

The alarm goes off and for a split second, you wake up with a positive feeling that this is going to be a new day. Before you have barely had time to open your eyes, the pain hits you. Whether it’s a slow dull ache burning in a certain area or a shooting pain that hits you with a jolt…it’s a stark reminder of what lies ahead in your day.

It’s draining, it’s depressing, and regardless of what you have tried, nothing brings you relief.

Countless people find themselves in the same struggle, searching for the key to a pain-free life.

According to Boston University, approximately 20 percent of the world’s population is living with chronic pain. That’s one in five of us not living life to its potential, simply because we can’t.

Military duties left Col. Strand with a ruptured disc in his neck, a broken tibia and fibula, and numerous surgeries. He was already struggling physically and emotionally before his diabetes diagnosis. He knew something had to change!

This book was born out of years of living with chronic pain and exploring methods to overcome it. And now, you can do the same—take control of your pain and rediscover your power.

In this complete guide to chronic pain, you will discover:

• A profound understanding of chronic pain and how it doesn’t just affect the body, but also changes your brain and emotions
• What to do when emotional stress, anxiety, and depression accompany your chronic pain
• The symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome with management strategies and treatment options

The first step is the hardest. It takes everything you have got to fight through your pain, and the last thing you want to do is waste time and energy on methods that don’t work.
