Dr. Roberts is AMAZING!!

I love my doctors

I appreciate the time Dr. Roberts took with me during my visit. She provided me with information and explanations about the condition of my knee that helped me understand why I'm in the pain I'm currently experiencing. Up to this point, age was cited as the culprit, which was less than helpful in trying to figure out how to mitigate the pain. It also didn't give me an explanation of what is likely going on inside my knee due to the various factors and how those things are likely contributing to my deteriorating quad. So I appreciate that she listened to my athletics journey, the origins of the initial injury, and then explained how what I articulated comes through in the x-ray as well as my symptoms. So that was very, very helpful and I will be following her recommendations to the letter.

Everything great

Dr. Roberts is likely very knowledgeable about breaks/tears but not about tendinitis. No treatment was prescribed, no follow up, etc other than rest it and check position of keyboard at work. My injury stemmed from the gym and a workout that aggravated a child hood injury. I've not had an issue with it in over 50 years as an athlete. I would have liked to hear if PT could help after rest, etc or what options are available for office set up to not further aggravate it. Could ultrasonic therapy help? The xray showed a slight sublixation In the elbow. That made sense since It felt like I had put it out during the initial injury but It had mostly gone back In place. It still hurts and I cannot lift much with that arm, play golf, play pickleball, etc. I can swim laps and bike but not much else because it still hurts. No brace was recommended or treatment beyond rest plus check my computer set up at work. Quite frankly, I felt she was ageist in not recommending much as if I didn't count as an older athlete. I still compete and certainly don't want a long term injury at this point in my life.
