This sequel to Dr. Lonnie Zeltzer's 2006 best seller, "Conquering Your Child's Pain," her new book co-authored with her husband, Dr. Paul Zeltzer, includes information from more than 40 experts in almost every type of pain.

They discuss specific pain problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, sports injuries, and many more conditions.

The book describes physical, psychological, behavioral, and mind-body therapies, as well as "what to do when it seems nothing is working."

The authors describe strategies for working with the school after the child has had many absences, how to work with insurance companies to get services covered, and many more practical aspects that enhance parents' abilities to help their child in pain.
