What to expect at a consultation

For a first visit, bring any relevant X-rays, MRI scans, or reports, and a list of medications you take. Wear loose clothing so the affected area can be examined easily. Be ready to describe how the problem started and how it affects your daily activities. Ask about non-surgical options before discussing surgery, and if surgery is recommended, clarify the recovery time and risks.
