This YouTube video (A Local Hero's Journey to Knee Wellness — Part 1) presents a patient testimonial about severe, chronic knee pain and swelling that impaired quality of life. The speaker describes arriving at a clinic convinced they needed knee replacement surgery, but being persuaded to try a conservative treatment first with surgery left as a later option if needed.
You had said that if surgery is an option, it'll be an option if we try this and it doesn't work. And that made sense to me. When I came to you at Pinnacle, I was kind of at my wit's end. I had gone as far as I could go. I was in a lot of pain. My knees were swollen, and I could get away from it. I couldn't get away from the pain and the swelling no matter what I did. I thought that I. I was to where I needed to have knee replacement. I was in so much pain. I just came to you because I felt like that's where I was at, that the only way that I was going to have any kind of quality of life was to. To have surgery and move on, do the therapy. Well, honestly, I didn't know a whole lot about it. I'd heard the commercials, but I never really put two and two together. When I spoke to you and I watched the videos, and I couldn't really justify why I wouldn't try that. First, you had said that if surgery is an option, it'll be an option if we try this and it doesn't work. And that made sense to.
