Update Your Profile
My advice would be to go to the doctor's office and formally request a copy of your entire medical chart. The office has to give you your medical chart if you request it. Then, take your entire chart and go to a different orthopedic surgeon for a follow-up / second opinion, who is not in the same practice group or health system as your original doctor. Hopefully, the new doctor will be able to tell you precisely what the tests showed and what treatment options you may have.
