Osteoporosis is a disease without any symptoms until you suddenly break a bone. If you break a hip, you are quite likely to be dead within a year. Start now to take your bone health seriously! Read this book to educate yourself about osteoporosis and learn how to strengthen your bones for life. Osteoporosis is usually preventable. Osteoporosis prevention is far easier than reversal. Loss of bone is a big problem in both hormone-deficient women and men. Eventually it limits mobility and can be fatal. When the problem gets bad enough, traditional physicians prescribe bisphosphonates, like Boniva, which have side effects, like scarring in the esophagus and the creation of abnormal, fragile bone. Pharmaceutical drugs used to treat osteoporosis may build bone, but it is of poor quality and results in an increase in bone fractures in the third or fourth year of use. At the top of the list for those at risk for bone loss are sex hormone-deficient men and women. Of all the things you can do to prevent osteoporosis, one stands out. That is hormone optimization. The loss in hormones at menopause is the reason why 80% of the people who develop osteoporosis are women. When a man's testosterone levels drop, his bone density drops too. If optimal hormones are not achieved, the chances of success in the treatment of osteoporosis are greatly minimized. In addition to sex-hormone deficiencies, other hormonal imbalances can lead to bone loss, too.Frailty is a big driver of mortality. Frailty syndrome occurs when an elderly person loses muscle mass, bone mass, proper functioning of the immune system, and develops neurological problems and anemia. Don't let sarcopenia and frailty syndrome catch you unaware. If the bone scan should show osteoporosis, then we need to evaluate for possible causes of frailty syndrome.

Degenerative disc disease is a condition that can cause pain in the lower back and legs. It occurs when normal changes that take place in the discs of your spine cause pain. The discs are cushions between the vertebrae, and they help to absorb shock and keep the spine flexible. With age, the discs begin to degenerate or break down. This can lead to several problems, including pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. Degenerative disc disease is a common condition, and it is most often seen in middle-aged and older adults. Treatment typically involves analgesics or anti-inflammatory medications. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. While there is no cure for degenerative disc disease, there are several things that you can do to manage the pain and other symptoms.

Clinical diagnosis in orthopedic pain conditions can be mysterious, especially when many conditions mimic each other in the same region. An unusual manifestation delays diagnosis, and increases complications, worsening the patient's condition. This book highlights the need for a change in our method of clinical practice, both in primary care and specialist care.Dr. Kumaravel has updated methods in diagnosing orthopedic conditions and has structured the chapters so that in a region of pain, both local and transmitted pain are considered. A simple approach of considering the different conditions in tables and flow charts will help young orthopedic surgeons to discover what they are dealing with. i.e., If there is pain, then where did it arise? What is the list of conditions one needs to consider? What can it mimic? What do they need to be differentiated from? Never missing a diagnosis can't be more emphasized. Because knowing what condition one is dealing with solves 99% of the problem, while treating it is only the remaining 1%. Knowledge is power.Readers can apply these to their patients and plan the treatment accordingly. This well-structured book for orthopedic pain makes learning orthopedics entertaining and assists clinicians in giving correct and quick care.
