hd I am so glad your knee was properly taken care of.
Hope it feels better each day

Glad you are feeling better. Would it help to go in with a list of questions, and sit in front of the door until they all are answered? That worked for me.

silly

this tape that is supposed to last 4 days is already unsticking the first day! I'm wondering how it's supposed to help sticking tape on your leg::::he says it pulls the muscles away from the knee and I don't know what else...hard trying to answer someone when I don't even get it myself! (nosey neighbors!)

We shall see...go back on Monday.

I was totally serious, and have used this techique. It is hard when you are in a gown, sititng on the examination table though. Jump down, and say, wait!

My OB/GYN told me to use this, and I had my list of questions every time I went in for a checkup when I was pregnant. Most of the time, the docs ask, is there any other questions you have for me? The good ones, anyway.

you have to make sure you tie the gown in back......

i go in every week with my questions usually about 10 and if theya re in a hurry i pick 5 bargain with them to get your answers when they find you are serious they will be..

For one thing Banditas, I don't wear a gown!!! I wear shorts & they are working on my lower back so just have to pull them down a bit...

I went Monday & again today, Wed., got the knee wrapped both times. They are dealing with my back issues...said the muscles around the sciatic nerve are very hard!! They are trying to loosen those muscles so they let go of the sciatic nerve, which in turn runs down my leg & could be causing the knee probs. I got it taped on Mon & again today! I was starting to look like I was mummified on my leg from all the tape trying to keep the original tape stuck!!! This gal did a good taping today...I believe it's working for the knee! wha-la...I know don't jump the gun!

Thanks I'll remember all the words of courage for question asking!
