    Dr. Lipold listened as I described leg & knee pain. She examined my leg and prescribed an anti-inflammatory medicine which I am still using. I told her that I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon who will review the previous imaging of my left knee and leg and possibly schedule new tests. He will give me a second opinion as how to proceed.
