@lebanon100 Thank you for asking. You can copy and paste my comments into something like Word and print them out to take to your doctor. You may want to print out some of the information in the links if you need it for reference. Doctors may not have a lot of time, so have a priority list that is most important for your questions. The doctor will need to explain something he suggests doing, so it's OK if you are unfamiliar with it ahead of time. If the doctor doesn't have enough time for your questions, the PA assistant can take more time to explain. Take all the time you need for decisions and get other opinions if surgery is suggested. You can always return for a follow up appointment if you need further discussion with your doctor.
