As medicine for climbers is still in its infancy (relative to other sports), many doctors might not realize what levels of stresses are being placed on the body. A climber's personal knowledge of what might be happening will help the doctor make an informed decision and point him/her down the correct road to recovery. That said, this book is not to be used for self-diagnosis or personal treatment recommendations. Any problems should be looked at by a trained professional as the exact diagnosis is very difficult to make. This book is intended to help a climber understand that diagnosis.
