    Thorough and readable!
    Talk about an “all you ever needed to know about arthritis” resource! For starters, I love how the book is laid out so clearly. The table of contents is incredibly detailed, allowing the reader to know where to look for specific information. And what an array of topics! From defining the various types of arthritis to describing treatments (traditional, alternative, and novel) to ways to save on prescriptions, this book has it all. The book discusses all 56 common arthritis meds, what they’re used for, how they work, and their side effects. (Everyone who has arthritis should be reading this chapter before beginning a prescribed med protocol.) There’s even a chapter on “Traveling with Arthritis”–really helpful! Also, the “surgeries” chapter was eye-opening. The authors discuss, in detail, what hip and knee replacements entail, and they share some tips for quick and successful recovery. One final comment: this book is so well written that it’s actually an enjoyable read! (Never thought I’d say that about an arthritis book…) All in all, this is one of the best books I’ve ever read in terms of understanding my health and wellness. I recommend it to anyone who has arthritis. It would also make a thoughtful and affordable gift to your friends and loved ones.

    Great Book For Everyone
    Loved the book! It’s got everything you ever wanted or needed to know about the many different forms of arthritis, including plenty of ways to help control the pain, slow down the progression of the disease, exercise away stiffness, and make use of non-invasive therapies that actually work. There are very clear, easy-to-understand sections on arthritis medications and surgeries. And an interesting section on ten brand-new treatments for arthritis. It’s an excellent reference book. Highly recommended!

    NO HELP !
    I was looking for information on finger and hand arthritis but found none. I have it in my feet and hands. The book is not about this problem and I was disappointed. If you are looking for joint problems you may find help. I threw the book out.

    Conventional and leaves out important things
    You can get the standard information with a simple Google search and no need to pay for a book. Book fails to mention that stretching/exercise is VERY effective in alleviating arthritis and can be better than anti-inflammatory pills. One physical therapy technique is named Maitland and has done more for me than all the pills and supplements over the previous two years. Again, Google YouTubes for “exercises for arthritis.” Also, collagen supplements not proven but is working for me. Very surprised that the usually excellent Dummies series is a disappointment this time.
