First visit was rushed, doctor spent about 15 minutes with me looking at and palpating my knees. After saying I have almost bone on bone between RT medial condyle and tibia and arthritic changes behind each patella, he told me to lose weight and go to physical therapy. Neither will treat the cause of the pain, the bone spurs and the arthritis. Much of this caused by a sports injury that was never treated properly by a doctor when it happened.
