"The first book I heard about that was about pain, but not in a technical sense was "The Culture of Pain." It was when I was in university and I went straight to the library to get it. "The Culture of Pain" revolutionized my understanding of pain. It remains my favourite and the one I most recommend when people ask me for a book on pain."
