Your voice matters in your recovery journey. Here's how to make every appointment count:
📝 BEFORE YOUR VISIT:
• Track your symptoms daily
• List your top 3 concerns
• Note what activities you miss most
🗣️ DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT:
• Be specific about pain levels (1-10 scale)
• Share what you want to be able to DO
• Ask about non-surgical options first
🎯 SET CLEAR GOALS:
• "I want to walk my dog pain-free"
• "I need to get back to playing with my kids"
• "I'd love to return to my favorite sport"
Remember: Good communication = better treatment plan. Your doctor needs to understand YOUR life to create the right plan for YOU.
