“With the dramatic increase in prescription opioid abuse, managing pain and addiction—particularly for people in recovery—has become a major medical issue in our society. Mel Pohl is addiction medicine’s leader in this complex area. He has provided guidelines that improve clinical outcomes and decrease consequences for these multi-problem patients. His book will be valuable reading for all in our field who deal with the complex issue of pain and addiction.”

“Suffering is optional! A Day without Pain offers this timely message to those with chronic pain (and their physicians). Dr. Pohl illuminates the approach to the chronic pain patient and shows us the medical, psychological, and chemical dependency issues that must be addressed in these individuals. As a practitioner on the ‘firing line’ treating chronic pain patients, I heartily recommend A Day without Pain to anyone suffering with this mysterious illness, as well as their caregivers, family, and friends.”

"A Day without Pain is based on the principle of 'physician heal thyself.' "Dr. Pohl 'walks the walk' and 'talks the talk' of a drug-free approach to chronic pain management. This refreshing approach to a huge problem is long overdue and will benefit thousands of patients who suffer from chronic pain."

"In A Day without Pain, Mel Pohl explores the experience of chronic pain—from its complex multi-faceted causes to its often devastating effect on lives. Most importantly, through the stories of his patients, he illustrates routes to recovering from chronic pain's disabling impact. Dr. Pohl's compassionate, holistic, gounded, and honest approach to treating pain and its emotional and behavioral consequences shines though this book. I highly recommend A Day without Pain for anyone suffering from chronic pain or watching a loved one suffer."

"If you or a loved one suffers from chronic pain or chronic pain syndrome, please read this wonderful book. Dr. Mel Pohl combines all of the helpful elements—a very personal investment, a research perspective, and that of a compassionate healer. As someone diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, I can only wish that Dr. Pohl had years ago been available to me as a teacher and a physician."
