I saw an orthopedist about two weeks ago and had a pretty bad experience that ended with, "keep doing physical therapy and add some core exercises." I wasnt really thrilled about the experience and I wanted to talk to someone who was a hip expert, so I dove in and got a second opinion for the first time ever.
I am so happy I did! My new orthopedist found that I do have an impingement in my hip, and we have a treatment plan to move forward. I found a doctor that I feel I can trust, that is on my side, and that I know is incredibly knowledgable and kind to boot.
I just can't believe how different the two experiences were, and how little one orthopedist would help compared to another. Has anyone else had an experience like that?
