5.0 out of 5 stars A must read, must read book!, December 26, 2000

By	Kathleen Hess "kmhess" (Big Rapids, MI USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book for my mother who was recently diagnosed with "massive degenerative osteoarthritis of the spine". Her pain is chronic and she was feeling extremely distressed. When the book arrived she stated she read it from cover to cover in one day. Her whole demeanor improved about the disease because this book was so informative and well written.

My mother stated several times "this book is a must read for every person who has this disease."
