[net.med] treatments for arthritis & bursitis

era@hao.UUCP (Ed Arnold) (06/05/85)

I'm seeking advice for a relative (woman, late 60s) who has been having
severe problems with both arthritis and bursitis.  Since she has tried
several MDs, who have given her the usual assortment of drugs (without
much success), I'm especially interested in hearing from those who know
of successes with "non-conventional" treatments, such as acupuncture,
nutrition, or exercise.  References to magazine articles or books would
also be appreciated.

Please mail directly to me, and I'll post a summary.  My apologies if
you've all gone through this one before, but I don't read this group
regularly.
