YOU'RE NOT BROKEN

What if your pain isn't a sign that something is broken - but a signal that your body has been carrying more than it was designed to handle?

In You're Not Broken: Just Working on an Overworked Frame, Scott R. Buford offers a clear, reassuring, and patient-focused explanation of musculoskeletal pain through an orthopedic lens. This book speaks directly to people who live with persistent aches, recurring injuries, stiffness, or unexplained discomfort - and who have quietly begun to wonder if something is "wrong" with them.
Using plain language and real-world examples, Buford explains how bones, joints, muscles, and tendons respond to repetitive load, stress, posture, and everyday demands. Pain, in many cases, is not failure. It is feedback. An overworked frame does what it can to adapt, until it can no longer keep up.

Rather than fear-driven diagnoses or quick fixes, this book helps patients understand:

• Why pain can persist even when scans look "normal"
• How overuse, poor recovery, and accumulated stress affect the body
• The difference between damage and overload
• Why rest, recovery, and proper guidance matter more than pushing through pain
