introductory pain textbooks

[promethius]

Hey everyone,

Will be doing a (chronic) pain rotation soon during residency and was wondering what is a general consensus excellent introductory textbook to use for quick background reading prior to the start of such a rotation. One that highlights both interventional and non-interventional approaches would be ideal. Thanks!

it used to be "Pain Medicine: A Comprehensive Review" by Raj. Check Amazon.

Thanks! I will definitely check it out. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

this one is my favorite.....but it might be too much for just a rotation.
