Things I have learned about orthopedists: - they have only one tool and it is surgery. If you don't need surgery, you need to see a physical therapist. PTs know far more about soft tissue injuries and rehab than orthopedists. - orthopedists make money from each surgery they do. Many orthos are honest, but some areas of US have orthos who run joint replacement factories to maximize profit. In the past few months I've gotten two junk mailings from orthos advertising joint replacement. If doctors are advertising, you know their financial incentives are wrong.
