Posted At 09:15:33 01/10/2001 Second opinion, find a doctor, willing to help. Ask your friends at work, who is good, and who is not in the insurance companies pocket. Being a nurse you should know how much pain is acceptable, bend your knee, and keep it up, ice, motrin, a wrap. Ask your doctor for a second opinion. A list of 5-6 good doctors. With who is most likely to help on top, and closest to your home. Don't expect anyone to be forthcoming, they are only interested in saving money. And not yours. |
