Many people think nothing of "suffering through" the pain. But in fact, letting pain go on too long can make it much harder to treat. And it can have detrimental effects on your mind, your memory, even your lifespan. In most cases, people in pain don't have to wait for a breakthrough treatment to heal their pain. The solutions already exist.

But the best pain solutions are not one-size-fits-all. Too many people try one remedy and then give up, or they stick with a one-remedy solution that's just so-so because they don't think they have any other options. Make Pain Disappear brings together options to figure out which solutions are best for which people, and which combinations of remedies work best together.

Find answers such as these:

• Who should combine antidepressants plus relaxation therapy to tame tension headaches
• Which arthritis sufferers benefit most from taking joint- building supplements
• Why physical therapy doesn't always work for back pain

And some home remedies are the best:

• Humming can help blocked sinuses
• Use a sock to ease neck pain
• Cherry juice can help muscle aches
