Very Good Book

Not only have I read Dr. Fried's book, I am also a patient of his. No book, especially in the field of repetitive injury, is going to be complete without an informed medical opinion. If you use this book as help to enlighten your understanding of the pain you are in, as a tool to visualize what is happening under your skin where you cannot see, and don't try to use it as a guide to curing yourself, you will gain insight, knowledge, and a better ability to help you and your doctor to heal you.The book will explain several things, and I will admit, not to a great degree. It is not a medical textbook. However, by reading this book, it will allow you a greater ability to confer with the doctor of your choice. It allows you to speak with some understanding of what's happening to you, or a loved one, and not be bogged down in terminology that you're unfamiliar with. I've lent my copy to several people who have expressed a better understanding of their conditions and they have reported to me that they are able to communicate better with their doctor, and also believe that they may be able to positively effect the outcome of their injury. Of the people I have lent the book to, of those who have had surgery for RSI, some have said they learned things from the book their surgeons never told them about, especially in regard to post-surgery recovery and return to work.Another reviewer felt that Dr. Fried, in the book, does not cover use of stress relieving tools. Yet, from personal experience, he has, and does recommend any type of device that will reduce the stress that has caused the injury, including ergonomic keyboard, voice activated software, and any number of other devices. Again, this book should be used in conjunction with your physician or surgeon to help you lead a pain free life.As a reader, and patient, I find his book to be enlightening and educational, but most importantly, it's a companion to a well thought out regime of therapies and medical intervention, and is not designed to be a textbook on how to cure yourself.

Recommend it to Everyone!!!

Dr. Fried's: Light at the End of the Carple Tunnel Reaches far beyond conventional treatments of nerve pain to address. The many new and exciting alternative therapies now available. A must read book for those seeking a clear, simplified understanding of neuropathic pain. Gary L. Oxenberg,M.D. Internal Medicine

Fantastic , informative , saved me from unnecessary surgery

Dr. Frieds approch to conservative treatment is outstanding. I agree that the patient should be involved in his treatment program. Too many friends of mine have gotten unnecessary surgey that gave them more problems than they started with. Read this book , you won't be sorry.

A MUST READ FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING SURGERY

DR. FRIED EXPLAINS IN DETAIL THAT THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE MEASURES WE CAN TAKE WITHOUT HAVING SURGERY. A LEADING ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON DR. FRIED BELEIVES IN THERAPY, BIO FEEDBACK, USE OF WRIST SPLINTS AND GIVING A CHANCE FOR THE BODY TO HEAL THYSELF. IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE ARE CONSIDERING SURGERY, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.
