A Customer said Great resource. I found this book through Tammy Crouch Fletcher's RSI FAQ and the many suggestions helped me to improve my symptoms without surgery. Full of common sense, written by a patient (Ms. Crouch Fletcher had two surgeries and researched virtually every treatment available), full of good interviews and tips, and designed to help you help yourself. Excellent read before visiting the surgeon!. Surgery is not always the answer. Tammy is honest about herself and in her book shares the importance of knowledge verses the quick-fix. The resources given in the book alone, are worth the price of the book. A must read!. MICHELE T. said Two Stars. Not a great book for cpt
