The Complete Presbyterian Osteoarthritis Handbook

After wading through many articles and books dealing with osteoarthritis I was pleased to find a book that I felt comfortable reading. The author takes the reader on a virtual tour of this disease.Starting out with the progressive symptoms the reader is given information to gather before making that first visit to the doctor. This includes what questions to ask as well as being prepared for the questions the doctors will ask. The book is written in terms an average individual can understand. What a relief! This is a book that is practical and gives the reader a feeling of belonging. No longer that lost feeling as well as the panic that can accompany an illness. The author believes that a well informed patient is the best asset in managing an illness. The author doesn't offer a miracle cure. But rather he has included solid steps to deal with arthritis. This includes steps for those just noticing symptoms as well as for those facing total joint replacements. The author takes the reader through the entire process of joint replacement, including the decision to have surgery right through the rehab after. The author takes the fear of the unknown away from the patient and gives control and understanding. The reader no longer feels alone against the disease, but rather part of a team that cares. No matter what stage of osteoarthritis you may be at this is a helpful encouraging guidebook.
