I agree with Ed - have a copy of the questions for the doctor. My PCP’s nurse came to always ask for it when she did my vitals and stuff, and my doctor had it before she entered my room and had a chance to scan it and think about it in the moments before seeing me and perhaps be able to combine some of the answers to questions. She was just brilliant that way, not all my doctors were. I knew I had to keep each question or bullet in as few words possible (big challenge for me) - makes it look less overwhelming; we can chat details if they need more. I always had a side list of positive things working for me to show I wasn’t just a complainer. Keep a list for yourself to follow along with the doctor covering your list so you don’t forget anything and in the event you have an extra minute can say “how about question #3, do you have thoughts on that one?” I know you have a history of shoe preferences, that might be a positive. For me, I plan to ask my Neurologist if he has a recommendation for podiatrist or shoe fitting specialist that might be able to make sure I’m getting what I need from my shoes for my foot type that will help with gait and balance.
