The orthopedist was a waste of time

they couldn't x-ray me, so they just said I had some swelling and to take 2 weeks off from running, but that I could continue my other forms of cardio and wear my compression brace.

I want my $20 copay back.

Re: The orthopedist was a waste of time

  • They "couldn't" or wouldn't?

    That is odd, and sucky.

    Can your PCP order an xray ... although an xray really isn't all that great for determining knee issues.

    I think I missed the back story here.

    How long have you been having pain?

    Wouldn't because I found out this morning that I'm pregnant (though even if they would, I wouldn't let them.) The pain has been going on for a bit over 2 weeks, though it comes and goes.

    Ok, there's a whole bunch of stuff going on in this post.

    First, I'm sorry to hear about your knee problems. I've been there before. Very frustrating when you expect the ortho to give you a plan of action, and all you end up with is an empty wallet and the advice to "rest".

    Secondly, a huge congrats on the BFP!

  • Congrats on being PG!!  Hopefully the rest will help your knee.
  • Thanks, ladies! I'm glad I took the tests this morning, just to be sure (I really thought we were out this cycle, especially after my chemical pregnancy last cycle.) I guess I now have a much better excuse to take it easy for a few weeks!

    And your name is "rxbeth", so I guess you're good at prescribing things!

    Thanks, ladies! I'm cautiously optimistic after last month.

    Seriously Although this doctor did say I could spin/ellipticize - not a word - and the ladies here suggested I sit on my fat butt for a week! The travesty! ;)

  • Boo about the knee. If you're a back sleeper, I slept with mine propped up and it helped with the swelling/pain. But holy congrats on the BFP!
