Any good DVD/CD-ROM's for regional blocks out there? I did a search on Amazon and didn't see much. If not, I'm open to solid regional texts.
Gracias.
Gracias.

I am a physiatrist s/p anesthesia-based pain fellowship
For PM&R boards:
Pocketpedia by Choi, Sugar, et al. A must!
For pain boards (ACGME):
Review book by Raj a must!-Questions are very important!
Waldman Pain Atlas helpful
Pain Management Secrets by Kanner helpful
Warning: Pain boards poorly written
ASRA has a nice practice test available on disc with great references
Review questions by ASIPP can be intimidating (RShah is a smart man)
For fellowship:
Fenton is a must for the new injectionist- great pictures!
(I don't think you should ding the nerve every time though with TFESI)
Waldman Atlas for peripheral injections and pain are nice (CPTs included)
For anesthesia residents doing pain:
Highly recommend Pocketpedia by Choi, Ross, et al. for PM&R stuff
Saw a list of books on the following site: www.painphysicians.org - has some recommendations in the book store area.
Can we make this a sticky thread?
I just bought these 4 books.
ISIS publications: Medical management of 1.Cervical Radicular pain 2. Lumbar radicular pain by Bogduk. It is OK!
ASIPP publications: 1.Low Back Pain and 2. Coding and Billing for interventional Physicians. Both by Manchikanti. I like Low back Pain book which has all information needed for spine interventionist.

Have you heard of Wall and Melzack's (the "fathers" of modern pain medicine ie. gate control theory) "Textbook of Pain" (2005)(5th edition)? Well, there is a clinical companion which I highly recommend called "Handbook of Pain Management" (2003) edited by Ronald Melzack and Patrick D.Wall.
I wouldn't buy the "Textbook of Pain" because it is OVERWHELMING! It is more of a reference source. The handbook is a concise overview of the most important information about every clinical aspect of pain. It is for ALL health professionals.
The handbook is divided into three sections:
Section 1 Clinical Pain States (soft tissue, joints and bones/deep and visceral pain/head and face/ nerve and root damage, CNS)
Section 2 Therapeutic Approaches (pharmacology/surgery/physical therapies/psychological therapies)
Section 3 Special Problems of assessment and management (age and sex differences/AIDS-related pain/neuropathic and burn pain/cancer pain/pain in the elderly)

anyone have any thoughts on this book??
Atlas of Image-guided Intervention in Regional Anesthesia And Pain Medicine (Hardcover)
by James P., M.D. Rathmell, Gary J. Nelson (Illustrator)
***Just bought this book. Nice. Concise. Uses straight needle technique after discussing curved needles. Could have used more color illustrations and some greater detail.

I have found myself going through multiple sources to even read common things we encounter on daily basis. I found it frustating and energy consuming process. Is there one good book you will recommend:
I have Fenton for spine intervention and Raj's radiographic imaging for regional and pain - these two book covers all the procedural stuff.
But, I am looking for a book that is somewhat detail oriented in explaining anatomy, pathophys, physical diagnosis and management of that pain condition. I have got the orange book of pain medicine - comprehensive review by raj but does not like it.
any solid recommendation for a good book or one you absolutely love ?
