Summary:
"About 46 million adults in the United States experience joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation associated with arthritis and related rheumatic diseases. These physical symptoms can interfere with activities of daily life, and the fatigue and emotional consequences of the disease can negatively impact relationships and mental well-being. But various treatments can offer pain and symptom relief, with significant improvements in overall quality of life. Arthritis Sourcebook, 4th Edition, provides information about the diagnosis, treatment, and management of degenerative, inflammatory, and other forms of arthritis. It describes the symptoms and treatments of related diseases that affect the joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles. Tips for reducing joint pain and inflammation and managing arthritis-related disability are also provided"--Publisher's website.
