Title: You "Kneed" This Book
Review: Corny review title, I know. But if I only knew ten years ago (five years, one year) what I know now...what I know now because of this book.Dr. Brian Halpern of the "Hospital for Special Surgery" in New York has written a thorough and highly readable primer on caring for the knee. There is a knee crisis in the United States...and I am sadly one of the recent casualties.With sections entitled "The Knee," "Preventing Knee Injury," "Getting Better" and "Groups with Special Concerns," you have all the information you need to prevent, diagnose, know whether it's time to go to the emergency room, prepare for surgery, find a physical therapist and participate wholeheartedly. There is also a chapter about "Complementary Medicine," discussing acupuncture, vitamins, herbal supplements and massage.I read it in a night, but will refer to it for years to come...whether I have surgery or not. I highly recommend it.
