Why isn't there more information for osteoarthritis
 |
Dear Dr. Matsumoto: Why isn't there more interest paid to people who have osteoarthritis. Doctors do not want to treat a person , they recommend surgery or go to your primary. Most primary doctors do not have the time to treat a speciality. It is a viscious circle. Please publish more information on how people can get relief or names of doctors who will treat you for osteroarthritis. Thank you for your time and hopefully understanding. JBW |

I agree. But the bottom line is that we need new and better treatments for osteoarthritis and then there would be greater interest in managing the disease. Certainly, there is quite a market for new therapies. |
