My wife and I went to our appointments with the Orthopedic Surgeon. My main worry is that my pain involves my bone disease and it will have to be removed.
We purposely show up early because forms will have to be filled out but no matter what, we always end up waiting. We sat waiting for nearly an hour. It annoys the hell out of me. Why go through the pretense of forcing people to make appointments if you take them on a first come, first serve basis?
Anyways...after taking x-rays, the doctor luckily determined it wasn't bone disease that troubled me but tendonitis. He gave me a Cortisone shot which hurt worse than the pain of tendonitis. He said I was going to have pain for the rest of the day and gave me a prescription of Tylenol with Codeine.
My wife's appointment didn't turn out as painful. They also took x-rays of her neck and spine. We happened to have the same doctor and he said my wife's spine was curving incorrectly, possibly due to a car accident she was in years ago. He prescribed her a neck brace and physical therapy to correct her spine.
