Is this in preparation for replacement or checking on progress?

Whichever, I hope they sort the pain out for you PDQ.

Well, This is in prep for deciding what to do. I have just started with a new primary doctor who was totally amazed that after two years of progressivly worsening pain and discomfort, the best my old doctor could tell me was "Take More Advil". THIS is why my old doctor is my OLD doctor. I have an appointment this afternoon with my new doctor.

Ouch that doesn't sound nice at all, but at least it is behind you. I hope the pain is eased as a result!!

I've seen some really good results with replacements but it takes some hard work at the beginning to get full movement.

Well, I am back from the doctor. Yes there is moderate arthritus, but still not bad enough to warrant any surgical intervention. She made some reccomendations, and I am back to see her in four months. When I was off tralking to the appointment lady, the doctor came back out of her office and said to me "Remember, if what I have suggested does not work, and the pain gets worse, don't wait the four months, call and make an appointment. I will hook you up with an orthopedic doctor."

I think I am glad I switched to the new doctor. She seems really nice.
