Description
Arthritis is very common in the general population, and osteoarthritis is the commonest form, particularly in older people. There is a real need for up-to-date, appropriate information to enable the primary care practitioner to address patients queries and concerns and assist them in self-management of this painful and debilitating complaint. This book, written in the popular Q and A format of the Your Questions Answered series, provides this information, so that GPs can better understand and treat patients with osteoarthritis. Answers are presented in a succinct, accessible style, with emphasis on evidence-based knowledge. Both authors are members of the Primary Care Rheumatology Society, as well as practising GPs.
