About this product: This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of authoritative documents on the subject of sciatica, a symptom of a problem with the sciatic nerve, a large nerve that runs from the lower back down the back of each leg. It controls muscles in the back of your knee and lower leg and provides feeling to the back of your thigh, part of your lower leg and the sole of your foot. When you have sciatica, you have pain, weakness, numbness or tingling. It can start in the lower back and extend down your leg to your calf, foot, or even your toes. It's usually on only one side of your body. Sciatica may be due to a ruptured intervertebral disk, narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the nerve called spinal stenosis, or an injury such as a pelvic fracture. In many cases no cause can be found. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust.

About this product: A must for the millions who experience lower back pain. A friendly, practical guide to coping with lower back pain--from pinpointing problems to determining proper treatment. The sometimes crippling, often prolonged back pain that afflicts 2.5 million Americans at one time or another is harder to diagnose than it is to cure.

Back Talk teaches patients which specialist to see, how to talk to doctors responsibly, what a physical exam should entail, and when to consent to diagnostic testing. It offers clear advice about treatment, surgery, and strategies for pain control.
Based on the latest research and Dr. Fishman's fifteen years of experience in successfully treating patients, Back Talk is filled with pain-saving advice and instructional facts: * most back pain is curable; less than 10 percent becomes chronic * more than four days of bed rest can make a back ache worse * patients who choose chiropractors visit them twice as often as those who choose medical doctors * more than 25 percent of people who go to orthopedic surgeons have referred themselves * the initial treatment any doctor is likely to prescribe is aspirin.
