Not sure which applies to you? Start with knee pain or shoulder pain, which explain how the likely cause is narrowed down before any scan.
What to bring
- Your scan films and CDs, not only the reports.
- Any previous X-rays, even old ones.
- A list of your medicines, and details of diabetes, thyroid, heart or kidney conditions.
- Insurance policy details if surgery may be needed, since most policies have waiting periods for joint replacement.
- A note of what you can no longer do, which matters more than a pain score.
Second opinions
Second opinions are welcome at this clinic, particularly if you have been told a rotator cuff tear cannot be repaired, advised to have a meniscus trimmed without discussion of repair, advised knee replacement on the basis of an X-ray alone, or had an ACL reconstruction fail without a clear explanation.
