Enhance understanding, investigation, and management of Chronic Pain....Guaranteed!! For millions of Americans living with chronic pain, Walking Well Again is the pathway to rapid recovery. It provides clear guidance for both patients and clinicians to properly investigate symptoms that may be severe, but are often easy to resolve without medicine, injections, or surgery. The most common symptoms addressed include back pain, knee and hip arthritis, and foot and leg pain. They make it difficult for people to walk well, stand comfortably, sleep comfortably, sit or get up from a seated position without pain, and bend over to pick things up. These symptoms are most often attributed to Arthritis, Spinal Stenosis, Fibromyalgia, Diabetic Neuropathy, Poor Circulation, Painful Swollen Legs, or Restless Leg Syndrome. Even if present for years or decades, symptoms can resolve within 1-2 days of proper treatment. Within the practice of the author, patients with these complaints rapidly improve over 70% of the time. Less frequently, he also sees improvement in neck pain, headaches, balance problems, and depression, as is addressed within the book. Over 85 stories of individual patients are included in the book, to help the reader best understand the evaluation techniques that identify the hidden causes of pain, along with tools properly manage them. These 85 are among the over 3500 patients that have enjoyed great relief of chronic symptoms under the care of the author, Dr. Stuart Goldman. Video interviews of over 120 patients, many from the stories within the book, are included on the web site WalkingWellAgain.com. Most of the information is presented so that it can be followed by non medical people without difficulty. Several sections are labeled "For the Clinician and the Very Curious", and have information in greater detail than would be needed by individual patients seeking help. Even those sections are written in a layman's language, with explanation of medical vocabulary. The book includes 28 chapters, and is formally divided into 4 sections. The first section provides a path to understanding symptoms, which are often mistakenly thought to be from common medical diseases or even the normal aging process. The second section focuses on Spinal Stenosis and PseudoStenosis, which are most often the hidden causes of pain. PseudoStenosis is an original classification of the author, who has published many articles related to the subjects of the book. The second section presents the classic understanding and treatment of Spinal Stenosis, Dr. Goldman's original Positional Management approach, and also provides great detail into the importance and management of PseudoStenosis. The third section focuses on common causes and patterns of chronic pain, and facilitates reevaluation of the symptoms and presents paradigms for management, based upon the use of information from Section 2. Conditions specifically addressed include Peripheral Neuropathy, Peripheral Artery Disease (poor circulation), Painful Swollen Legs, Arthritis including Fibromyalgia (two chapters), Shortness of Breath, Restless Leg Syndrome and night time symptoms, Balance problems, Depression, and the resumption of playing Sports. The fourth section has two chapters. Chapter 27 includes 40 stories that either provide new specific insights or reinforce essential concepts through the power of the tale. Chapter 28 provides an overview with direction for larger scale research, and the potential benefits of such research. Finally, there are two appendixes, and an index. In addition to many articles published in Podiatry, Diabetes, and Family Practice journals between 1997 and 2013, Dr. Goldman has also lectured at many Podiatry state and national scientific meetings. He is eager to share the information with both patients and clinicians, and is pleased to present this book on Amazon (but not Create Space) with a one month money back guarantee.

For his 35 years in practice, Dr. Stuart Goldman has been committed to conservative management of pain, avoiding surgery whenever possible.His original insights on evaluating and treating pain of the back, legs, and feet have been published in Podiatry, Diabetes and Family Practice journals since 1997. Finding that the majority people with chronic pain can obtain relief in just one or two days of the proper non surgical treatment, he gave up hospital surgery in 2012 in order to complete his book Walking Well Again.
Dr. Goldman is Board Certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. In addition to the many articles published, he has also lectured at both national APMA and state scientific meetings for over a decade. He is included in Marquis Who's Who in America, the World, and Medicine and Healthcare. He currently practices in the Baltimore area where he lives with his wife and children.

"Dr. Goldman's work serves as a reminder that all medical progress starts with impeccable observation. His presentation of the association of spinal stenosis, pseudo stenosis and peripheral neuropathy expands the traditional view and provides a new structure for practitioners to diagnose and treat disorders of the peripheral nervous system.
This text provides clinicians and patients a novel vision for abetting suffering from these disorders by explaining precise symptom complaints, examination findings,treatments and testable outcomes. The patient case format allows accessibility for patients and reminds practitioners that we serve to holistically improve the lives of people by treating body, mind, and spirit."

"Dr. Goldman's book is novel and revolutionary. I recommend this book as a common sense approach to pain management.At last, an author who ties together biomechanics and the important foot/ankle and spine relationship. This is required reading!"

This book is a treasure-trove of insights and expertise from a master clinician. Dr. Goldman's approach to physical diagnosis changed the way I think about low back pain. Instead of resorting to medications, injections, or surgery, many people can benefit from improved gait mechanics. This book is a step-by-step guide to identifying specific problems and implementing practical solutions. Your patients will thank you!
