Jayg Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Friday the 24th, I have an orthopedic appointment for my Back and Knees. What should I expect? What kind of appointment- general medical or C&P? In my case, for general exam (I have severe arthritis in my knees) they took X-rays and later an MRI, bent my legs to first pain to get an idea of ROM, had me push and pull against pressure to determine strength, walk, stand and other things such as raising on feet and the like. Also pressing numerous points with thumb pressure. From this they determined course of treatment. I haven't had a major back work up though I'm being scheduled for an MRI. C&P? they pushed the limb through till it hurt then pushed it through beyond that to measure range of motion. Ain't much but I hope this is what you were looking for.
