Know Your Bones:
Your Personalized Plan against Arthritis Pain from Orthopedic
Surgeon Stephanie E. Siegrist, MD
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (April 26, 2005) Osteoarthritis—it
inflicts pain on millions all over the world. Yet, even with
today’s advances in science and medicine, people still don’t know
“what’s normal and what’s not” when it comes to this disease.
What’s even worse, most people don’t even know what the best
treatment is for their pain.
Dr. Stephanie Siegrist, a fellow of the American Academy of
Orthopedic Surgeons and one of only 3% of board-certified
orthopedic surgeons who are female, offers arthritis pain-suffers
relief in the pages of her new book, Know Your Bones: Making
Sense of Arthritis Medicine published by WME Books.com, a
division of Windsor Media Enterprises, LLC.
According to Dr. Siegrist, “I want patients to learn the pros and
cons of any arthritis remedy recommended for them. Before taking
any medication, you owe it to your health to understand:
- What’s the name of the drug, and why am I taking it?
- How will I know if it’s working? When should I expect to
feel better?
- How often do I take it: daily, three times a day, as needed?
- What are the possible side effects, and symptoms I should be
aware of?
- What other drugs do I take, and how will this one interact
with them?
- Why is this drug right for me?”
Know Your Bones: Making Sense of Arthritis Medicine is
being lauded as, “A great service to patients,” by Mary I.
O’Connor, MD, Chair, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo
Clinic, as well as, “Dr. Siegrist’s book adds another valuable
piece to our library of knowledge regarding arthritis. Know Your
Bones is a book that everyone can understand,” says Carol Anne
DeMoulin, President & CEO, Arthritis Foundation, Upstate New York
Chapter.
“Read it from start to finish, or just refer to the drugs you
currently use,” Dr. Siegrist recommends. “Either way, you’ll
regain control of your symptoms, your treatments and your costs.”
