    Dr. Woolwine answered my questions and I came away with a much better understanding of treatment options and pain management. It was a good visit.The PA was very nice and also answered questions, did a physical exam of my knees and gave me an injection in each knee. The injection in the left knee was uncomfortable but OK. The injection into the right knee was extremely painful. It felt like a huge bolus was pushed suddenly into a very small space. I hope there is a way to make it less painful next time I need an injection. I know an analgesic is part of the injection, but it clearly wasn't enough or didn't have enough time to work.

    The reason I gave a good rating is because is because some of notes I read online was not discussed with me. For example, I don't remember discussing an alternative to surgery, and the notes said it was discussed. I have been told they tumor this to be removed by 2 doctors because of the size. The doctor did ask me several time did I have any questions.
