Summary: 3 Stars
I've been laid up for two years with an old 42 year injury finally caught up to me. After searching for answers and help via Doctors and Specialists not to mention products which included this book...the book didn't offer any more insight into the real problem then did most of the other products or Doctor visits. Finally one doctor saw it like it was. A bone fragment from an old injury had shifted and moved among the other bones of the foot and was causing severe misery. Surgery fixed that. Now on recover from surgery...who would have thought surgery could be almost as miserable as the orginal problem... Book hasn't helped much with that issue either. For sport injuries and normal wear and tear issues and some classic conditions this book offeres some insight and helpful suggestions. But for some types of injury it doesn't go that far. What would be nice is a chapter on how to find a doctor that isn't in it for the money and easy diagnosis and to keep searching. Even a pep talk would have been helpful. Since we aging hikers and enjoy walking and biking and other hoof it around sports this book well stay in our library where hopefully we remember it's there when a more common issue comes up involving the foot or feet. I could use some advice on how to help speed recovery along as the surgery had weaked my ankle and side of foot substantially. Time and patience so far is the best advice but I'd like to find sage advice on how to take a more active role in getting it there. Emu Oil and Arnica cremes are not working for me either. Price is decent for what this book offers however and don't want to discourage people who have more common sport injuries from seeking this one out. But check it out first from your library before buying it.
