I am having a similar issue. I couldn't get an appointment with the PT that my surgeon recommended, so I went to another mediocre place until the PT he recommended can see me. But I have some questions for anybody, especially Jennifer. Today I was in a situation where I had to walk farther than I have and now my body feels really weird. It feels kind of "bouncy" when I walk, like I am walking on a trampoline almost. Is this something I should worry about ? Also a pain management Dr I see wants to give me injections of Collagen. Has anyone heard of that ? Thanks
