I just found out about angry@arthritis in a online search ha. i have already been looking online and reading about breakthroughs, mice, dogs, soon, hope. thank you for taking this on! i just started listening to your podcast and i am cracking up so thank you for the lol also. funny, i had the kind of same beginning exp as you did: I was sent the bad news via mychart grrr. i contacted my pretender <ahem> primary healthcare person and on the phone she said, i can refer you to an ortho. i just found out that 1 year after i told this other doctor about groin area pain, he does nothing and now 1 yr later i have “severe” osteoarthritis! i ask her, in a year?? i told her i just want to talk to someone first before i set up an appt. i just want to talk about the disease because i knew in an appt i would get little time for that. And then nothing. seriously, talking/questions are verboten i guess. omg so i could relate to your seeing an ortho, getting the news and then pretty much crickets, you are on your own. so thank you for your osteoarthritis anger! i appreciate it.
