Description: Jerome Groopman reviews 'Why We Hurt : The Natural History of Pain' by Frank T. Vertosick Jr
A neurosurgeon probes the nature of pain. n 1979, while training for the Boston marathon, I ruptured a lumbar disc. I underwent two failed operations and was left disabled and in severe pain. It took many months of arduous physical therapy to be weaned from pain medication and to regain the ability to move about. To this day, if I lift something heavy without bending correctly, or fail to support my muscles when sitting in a soft chair, I am laid low by back pain. It was, therefore, with more than academic interest, and some trepidation, that I read ''Why We Hurt.'' To my surprise and delight, Dr. Frank T. Vertosick Jr., a practicing neurosurgeon, performs a feat of literary alchemy. He transmutes the lugubrious subject of pain into a provocative and edifying treatise that tightly engages the reader.
