You probably never thought that arthritis would be so interesting you couldn't put down a book or so funny you fell over laughing. But that is just what Dr. Wilson does in this unique book. He says, I have earned theprivilege of treating the aching and the injured, the lucky and the lame, those poor souls whose lives havetested the laws of physics and lost. I'm the guy who's supposed to re-order things. I straighten what goes crooked, relocate what dislocates, replace what wears out, and generally fix what's broken.Dr. Wilson is an orthopedic surgeon who has been in practice for 28 years.
He trained at Mayo Clinic and practices surgery at the prestigious Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans. In his book, The Other Midlife Crisis, heexplains the causes and treatment of arthritis and all those other aches and pains that afflict the baby boomer. He begins by describing the syndromes into which mid-lifers fall: the deconditioned, the risk takers, theNarcissus and many more. Illustrated with both his own anatomic drawings and cartoons by Pulitzer Prizewinning political cartoonist Walt Handelsman, Dr. Wilson's book takes the reader through the common problems of each region.
He writes, "the musculoskeletal system is either a lousy design or a remarkablyflexible, adaptable design, depending on your perspective and mostly depending on your maintenance of it.In that sense, it's like a fine racing bicycle: when everything is all tuned, the cables are tight and you're in shape to ride it, nothing seems better suited to the task of covering the ground ahead. On the other hand, ifthe wheels are out of alignment, the sprockets rusty, the handlebars loose and the rider's butt way outsizedfor the racing seat, it's a rolling comedy with a tragedy around the next corner."
He discusses arthritis so that a person knows exactly what he or she is getting into when the doctor tells him,is just arthritis. He tells the reader which conditions should be treated non-surgically, why cutting-edge orstate-of-the-art surgery may not be what the reader really wants, and why sports that were fun at 20 can be dangerous at 50. Dr. Wilson tells the reader the underlying cause of all the common bone and joint problemsand suggests solutions.
He says, "chronic problems have chronic solutions and notes that a pill or surgerymay be second best to focused physical therapy for problems pertaining to the shoulder, elbow, back, and neck."In his understandable and entertaining prose, he describes rotator cuff tendonitis, tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome. Of the hand he says, the hand is the most commonly injured part of the body, as long asyou don't count pride. Dr. Wilson unravels the mysteries of those aching knees, with their torn cartilages,sprained ligaments and sore kneecaps collectively the most common complaints in any orthopedist's office.
His detailed chapter on the spine distinguishes between the causes of chronic low back pain, pinched nervepain and spinal instability. More importantly, he separates the legitimate treatment from the snake oil. There isn't a midlife person alive who does not himself have one of these conditions and wonders what he orshe ought to do. If you read The Other Midlife Crisis, you will understand why it hurts where it does andwhat can be done for it. Just watch out you don't bust something laughing while reading this entertaining book.
