Osteoarthritis
Description
Dolores relies on synovial fluid injections and physical therapy to overcome the osteoarthritis that at one time put an end to her hiking. George, diagnosed with degenerative arthritis, opted for hip replacement surgery before returning to the ski slopes. A new set of knees was the answer for Del, after having suffered a series of sports injuries while in college. In this program viewers are introduced to the risk factors, symptoms, and treatments of osteoarthritis, with a special look at how the disorder affects people with an active lifestyle. Commentary from medical experts rounds out this video about the number one disabling disease for people over the age of forty.
