Book Reviews of Knee Pain: The Self-Help Guide

Book Review: At long last!
Summary: 5 Stars

An easy-to-read overview of knee problems that actually helped me! I have been dealing with knee pain for the past three years and visited many doctors, specialists and physical therapists - as well as trying many of the "alternative" treatments (massage, herbs, supplements, glucosamine, chiropractors, liniments, etc.) - with very little feeling of hope, empowerment or enlightenment, and very slow progress. I was so happy this book addressed the spiral of frustration when knee problems prevent exercise, which leads to weight gain, which causes more knee problems... And I was thrilled that this book provides many knee-strengthening exercises with easy-to-follow photos and directions. Not everything in the book was applicable - the book covers knee injuries in children, provides photos of various knee surgeries, and talks quite a bit about "baby boomers" (I am only 31) and professional athletes, but I am still very glad I read this book! Considering that it only took me one evening and one morning to finish, and I was able to gain quite a sense of hope and a lot of information, I do recommend it. Good luck!

Summary of Knee Pain: The Self-Help Guide

Many hurting knees happen as a result of sports injuries and accidental slips and falls, but many others are also the result of weight problems or aging. This book will help aging baby boomers and others stay active by clearly explaining how and why knees can be such a problem. The authors discuss the four most common knee problemsopain from the kneecap, torn meniscus, and ligament and tendon problemsoand explain what to do about them. Throughout, a variety of exercises to relieve pain, strengthen the knee, and prevent injury are clearly illustrated with drawings and photographs. Many new, nontraditional treatments do present valuable alternatives. Since surgery is always a looming possibility when the knee is involved, the authors help readers understand why surgery may become necessary, how to select the best knee surgeon, and what will actually take place in different types of knee surgery.
"The knee is a complex hinge designed by Mother Nature," writes John Garrett, M.D., one of America's most prominent knee surgeons, in Knee Pain: The Self-Help Guide. The knee absorbs shock, is strong and flexible, and lets you jump, run, and change directions at the same time--when it's working properly. Unfortunately, the knee is the most commonly injured joint, representing 26 percent of orthopedic business--more than the spine or hip.

Knee Pain is ideal for both athletes and baby boomers: it covers both knee injuries that are caused by trauma as well as those brought on by repetitive actions or common wear and tear. It aims to help people with knee trouble determine the cause of the pain and how to treat it without surgery (if possible), and informs patients what they should know if surgery is indicated. Fascinating illustrations of knees (fractured, torn, mended), knee procedures (tests, manipulations, exercises), and up-close-and-personal views of a variety of different surgeries are included. You'll get some information you might not expect from a knee book: advice to lose weight (excess weight stresses your knees); foods that aggravate arthritis; supplements; alternative treatments; recommended Web sites; and advice for gradually resuming activity after knee surgery or knee replacement. You also get more than 20 well-illustrated exercises that relieve pain and strengthen the knee. --Joan Price
