Informing Orthopedic Dr. about overuse issues...

Post by veggiebug »

I would like to pass information onto the Dr. that told me that the pain in my hand and the lump in my hand were NOT connected to my OBPI. Though I am annoyed at him I would like to pass as much information about overuse and information supporting that fact that due to our injuries we get secondary issues in our BP arms that IS ABSOLUTELY connected to our birth injuries. I want him to be informed just in case he meets someone else with the injury.
Also this Dr. was not aware of the no needles or blood pressure in BP arm, so any information I can pass on in a considerate way I think it would be beneficial.

Not sure how to go about it either, but I'll find a nice way.
