I think part of the problem is I really couldn't pinpoint anything that precipitated the start of the pain. I just woke up one morning with pain in the knee.
There wasn't anything I could pinpoint as the event that caused the pain.
Dr. Hume said that he could tell from the x-ray and the space between the bones that I had significant osteoarthritis. An x-ray is a pretty inexpensive diagnostic tool. It seems to me that any of the first three doctors could have x-rayed my knee and discovered the problem and I would have not had to endure 3 months of severe pain.
At least my original doctor never assumed I was just trying to get drugs, even if he only prescribed Tylenol for the pain.
The ones I blame the most were Dr. Lee and Dr. Jerk.
