More informative than the UNMC orthopedist I recently saw. Provided more information re my condition & the differences between the two types of shots available. Appreciated P.A. answering my questions re what I could do myself (elevate & compression socks). Really LIKED it that they had the x-rays up & that I could see them myself. Would have liked them to be even more verbal re my condition -- best approach, advisability of surgery, etc. It's almost as if the medical profession today is afraid to recommend too much.
