We've all been there. We go see our primary care provider, and they rush in, ask us some questions, type some stuff in the computer, write you a prescription, and you're out.
I'm not blaming them... They just don't have the time to explain everything and answer all of your questions.
Once you know these things, you'll know exactly what you need to do to start living a pain-free and active life so you can continue doing what you love, no matter your age!
