Book Overview

by Courtney A. Arment (Author)

An estimated one in five adults in the U.S. lives with some form of arthritis -- a leading cause of disability, affecting people of all ages. But joint pain doesn't have to put you on the sidelines. In this popular updated guide from the rheumatology experts at Mayo Clinic, discover how today's treatment options, including effective self care and holistic approaches, can help you limit joint damage, manage pain and inflammation, and reclaim your life.

Arthritis refers to more than 100 different conditions that cause joint pain and may involve care from orthopedics, rheumatology and other specialties. The good news is that there are better options than ever before for diagnosing, treating and managing joint pain. This book is designed to empower you with the latest knowledge so you can partner with your healthcare team and take an active role in your care.

Chapters break down the what, why and how of these complex diseases -- including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, vasculitis, gout, forms of childhood arthritis and more. Learn about what to expect in an evaluation, the range of available medications, potential surgical procedures, injections, holistic and self-care options, and general pain management tips; as well as tips for staying active, nutrition, mental health, working, traveling, and keeping your immune system strong.
Find answers to common questions such as:
  • What causes arthritis pain, and why is it worse sometimes?
  • Can certain foods help reduce inflammation?
  • Should I be taking supplements for joint pain?
  • What tests will I need when I see a doctor for arthritis?
  • How can arthritis affect other areas of health?
  • What are biologic and biosimilar medications? Should I be taking them?
  • How can I keep up my strength and mobility?

Reviewed and updated by Dr. Courtney Arment, along with more than 20 physicians and researchers at Mayo Clinic, this all-inclusive guide helps you minimize inflammation, relieve pain, and protect your joints for all your future adventures.
