Please listen to episode 54 FIRST: X-rays and MRIs do not decide surgery, what you need to know before you make a decision https://www.buzzsprout.com/1886674/episodes/11934530


In this episode Dr. Alyssa, PT discusses 4 patient stories of what they were told about their x-rays and how they moved forward to success. Without the right direction, looking at an MRI or x-ray can be scary- especially if you’re told you are bone on bone or “have the knees of an 80 year old”. You’ll hear each short story as well as her commentary on how to open the discussion up with your doctor/surgeon, who else to get an opinion from, and how to advocate for yourself.


Here are the 4 scenarios discussed:

  1. Being told you are bone on bone
  2. Advocating for PT first to avoid surgery
  3. The “pain is in your head” conversation
  4. “You have the knees of an 80 year old”


Learn how to respond and what questions to ask in each scenario.
