Alot of re-hashed information - nothing much new. Not that there aren't some good suggestions for minor bouts. I didn't find them terribly useful or helpful in my situation.
I have suffered from arthritis in my neck since I was a teen, and now, approaching 50, I am in chronic pain from it. I have done all of the standard things, so having this discuss at least a few other treatment possibilities was great. Most of this was pretty standard, however, it seriously reinforced to me the critical need to have a doctor who listens to and believes you. I am luck enough to have that, but not everyone does. I feel like it is just such a relief to have someone get that this is not being a drama queen or overreacting or being hysterical.
