Went to see the Arthritis doctor yesterday. I was amazed at his way of thinking and it made sense to me.

He said you were referred to me by your PCP, which is a regular doctor of general practice who felt you could benefit from consultation in arthritis care. He said, this is a practice, In My Opinion, may be able to relieve some of your pain, based on your condition, with techniques that are proven in some patients.

After his many questions, my answers, his body exam of arthritis zones, he suggested two shots in lower back. Then said I was a canidate for the T.E.N.S. therapy and recommended me for therapy and possibly getting the unit for home use after 3X a week for 3 weeks use in therapy. Already this guy made sense and continued to explain my condition as he see it, in his opinion. Not based on other patients or what he's done for others in the past.

His take on medications were, too many different ones for the same relief effort was not good due to side effects and increased tones, instead of decreasing them. With me on a daily intake of Ibuprofen, Baclofen and Aleve arthritis and others, that was enough. Stemulation of the nerves and muscles was also needed for full body functions.

He just don't think any doctor should base your condition on pass conditions of other people they have treated. There is too much variences in body sizes and body parts functions, condition of certain vessels and soforth. Each case should be evaluated on its own merit, he stated.

He's sending my PCP a follow-up of his findings and his recommendations to get me as pain free as possible. I like this guy, in my opinion, he's in a class by himself based on my experiences with specialized doctors the past two years.
