Chronic muscular, skeletal and neurologic problems are due to chronic inflammatory, degenerative and mechanical disorders. Treatment is meant to lessen the pain and disability. Much treatment is medication based. Medications may be given orally, topically, by injections or otherwise. This talk will provide an overview of such conditions and their non-surgical treatments with medications. Pros and cons of different groups of medications and their delivery methods will be discussed. Newer non-opioid as well as biologic drugs are all meant to slow down the disease process and reduce suffering from pain. Presented by Dr. M. Michael Massumi, Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation & Pain Management.

Fear of aging is one of the most common fears there is. We have more elders around us than ever before who can personally describe retirement, second careers, kayaking, living with chronic illness, volunteering and embracing a spiritual life. Yet even with these resources we feel increasingly unprepared. The fear that aging as a long decline can infiltrate our expectations and relationships. What do we do with these fears? Join us as we share and discuss ways to anticipate, face, and cope with this very common fear. Class is held first and third Tuesday starting on July 2nd. Continued from Spring.
