Yes, consistently. It;s a difficult thing to deal with, but learning to self advocate is important!

  @GothPeachLatte I told my orthopedic doctor I'd only had four sessions of PT and then he forced my bad leg to bend as far as my good one and then squeezed it. The physical therapist said he set me back a session or two by doing that.

    @ToastyToast that is when self advocacy is most important! I;m no professional, and I don;t know your life or your insurance or anything if the sort, but if it were me I would not be going back to that doctor.
