Product Description
Each year, millions of people go to their doctors complaining of knee pain, often resulting in MRIs and knee surgeries. However, many of these surgeries are unnecessary and so does much more damage to the knees than good. Now Dr. Grelsamer, named one of the best doctors in New York by New York magazine for the last three years in a row, exposes the potential dangers of misread MRIs and explains why, in many cases, surgery is not necessary to alleviate knee pain and provides helpful advice on different procedures when surgery is unavoidable. With rehabilitation exercises and step-by-step guides, he provides comprehensive information on relieving pain due to virtually every knee condition, including arthritis, runner's knee, torn ligaments and cartilage, tendinitis and more.

Very Practical
15 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought that this book contained an informative behind the scenes look at the orthopedic world. Although I believe that many are not out to simply get you in surgery, I'm sure there are a good portion that are and this book will give you cues on how to spot a happy cutting surgeon. This book will also awaken you to the fact that the doctor is merely a human being, sometimes making educated guesses into your condition.
I love the author's approach and direct writing style. This book gives some information about virtually any knee problem that can arise. Most likely it will affirm you to wait, try some exercises and see how it feels. It will also give you ideas on questions to ask the doctor, as well as give you a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the knee (as of 2002).

knee pain
25 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
This book was an excellent synopsis of what every patient needs to know about their knee pain, what the possible diagnoses are, what treatment options they have, and what tests may be helpful in treating their condition. An excellent resource to the public. I wish every doctor could explain things the way Dr. Grelsamer does in his book. Nothing is meant to go over the paitents head.
